Kenya is set to host the Regional Health Promotion Conference (RHPC) 2025 this March in Nairobi, bringing together over 500 delegates from Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, and Kenya. The conference, themed “Sustainable Health Promotion through Universal Health Coverage and Intersectionality in Healthcare,” aims to drive discussions on innovative strategies for improving health outcomes across the region.
The RHPC will serve as a platform for policymakers, healthcare professionals, researchers, and private sector stakeholders to collaborate on advancing health promotion. A key focus of the event will be the integration of healthcare with other sectors, such as education, technology, and climate change, to create holistic and sustainable health systems.
One of the major highlights of the conference will be discussions on Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and how regional nations can strengthen policies to ensure accessible and affordable healthcare for all. Experts will also explore how technology and data-driven solutions can enhance disease prevention and management.
The inclusion of climate change as a critical topic acknowledges the growing impact of environmental factors on public health. Sessions will delve into how climate adaptation strategies can mitigate health risks, particularly in vulnerable communities.
The RHPC 2025 is expected to foster cross-border collaborations, drive policy innovations, and strengthen the region’s commitment to achieving sustainable health promotion. As Kenya takes the lead in hosting this significant event, the conference will set the stage for long-term strategies that prioritize health and well-being in the broader East African region.
