Devex CheckUp @ WHA 76
On the occasion of the 76th World Health Assembly, Devex will convene leaders in global health to discuss the lingering pandemic emergency and long-term effects of COVID-19, preparations for the next global health threat, and the innovation necessary to move the needle on access to medicines and quality health care worldwide.
While medical devices and tools for analyzing data and diagnosing conditions are becoming cheaper and more ubiquitous, hurdles still exist when it comes to bringing global health technology and innovation to scale. As the COVID-19 vaccine rollout illustrates, sufficient funding, intellectual property disputes, supply chain challenges, and global health policy and governance can all stand in the way of coordinated impact.
This year, Devex brings its annual global health technology and innovation summit Prescription for Progress from Silicon Valley to Geneva for a closer look at the policy, partnerships, and funding strategy necessary to accelerate progress on global health goals. Join the journalists who bring you the global health newsletter Devex CheckUp — in person or online — for two days of insightful conversations with the individuals who are shaping the future of global health.

Even the Central Bank of Kenya has joined the bandwagon and launched its “National Payments Strategy 2022 – 2025” to encourage innovations in the payments system. It’s no surprise that MNCs in the fintech space are making huge investments in the country, thereby boosting foreign direct investment as well.

The event will host over 350 technology and business heads from the leading Banks, Insurance & Micro-Finance institutions across the country.
WHY KENYA

The country also has its own economic development strategy called ‘Kenya Vision 2030’ that aims to transform the life of its citizens.
In a bid to further spur fintech’s growth, the government has disclosed its plan to manufacture the most affordable smartphone in Africa that will cost just 5,000 Kenyan Shillings. This exemplary move came after Kenyans made a record 1.9 trillion mobile money transactions during the first 11 months of 2021 that was worth more than $55 billion.
