Highlights from the Regional Health Promotion Conference 2025

The Regional Health Promotion Conference 2025, took place in Nairobi, Kenya on the 18th and 19th March. This transformative initiative was designed to reimagine Universal Health Coverage (UHC) through the lens of intersectionality, by bringing together experts from across East Africa and beyond.

To all those who attended, thank you for being part of the Regional Health Promotion Conference 2025. Your presence helped ignite a bold, intersectional call for inclusive Universal Health Coverage—where no one is left behind. Let’s keep this momentum alive as we turn resolutions into action and communities into changemakers!
