Kenya Health Summit and KEMSA demonstration
President William Ruto opens the two-day Kenya Health Summit at KICC and visits KEMSA's stand, where the authority demonstrates its digital transformation, Paperless KEMSA system, and last-mile delivery model.
SHA payments begin
The Social Health Authority begins receiving funds and paying contracted health facilities, with more than KSh209 billion received and over KSh178 billion paid across all 47 counties since October 2024.
KEMSA order fill rate baseline
KEMSA's order fill rate stood at approximately 40 percent three years prior to the 2026 health summit.
KEMSA's digital transformation signals a major turnaround in public health logistics. With order fill rates more than doubling and paperless systems taking hold, supplier and distributor partners must align with new performance benchmarks.
Kenya's health sector is showing measurable reform results: 32.3 million Kenyans are now registered with SHA, and KEMSA's digitized supply chain is getting medicines to facilities more reliably. The shift supports the government's primary care push.
