Resilience: Building the East African Health Economy
Advancing Regional Partnerships, Innovation, and Investment for a Healthier East Africa
The premier regional platform bringing together policymakers, healthcare leaders, investors, innovators, development partners, and private sector stakeholders to shape the future of healthcare across East Africa.
A regional platform at scale
Building the future of the East African health economy
East Africa stands at a pivotal moment in its healthcare journey. With a rapidly growing population, rising healthcare demand, expanding private-sector participation, digital transformation, and growing investment opportunities, the region is uniquely positioned to become one of the world's most dynamic healthcare markets.
Yet significant challenges remain — healthcare financing, infrastructure gaps, workforce shortages, supply-chain vulnerabilities, and unequal access to quality care.
EAHF 2026 will serve as a catalyst for action: bringing leaders together to develop solutions, forge partnerships, and unlock investments that strengthen health systems and drive sustainable economic growth.
The 2026 Conference explores how resilience can serve as the foundation for healthcare transformation — strengthening regional collaboration, accelerating innovation, mobilizing investment, and fostering sustainable healthcare systems.
It focuses on creating practical pathways for countries and stakeholders to work together in building a healthier, more prosperous, and more resilient East Africa.
