In a world increasingly driven by data, what is the true cost of the USA-Africa health cooperation? By April 2026, 20+ countries had signed on. Yet, resistance is growing: 📌Zimbabwe has rejected the deal 📌Kenya’s High Court has suspended it over legal & ethical concerns ❎Why does the U.S. want Africa’s health data? And at what cost? 📺Watch @MalecheAllan, Dr. Zulfiqar Bhutta, and @TinasheMundawawara discuss with @BmarshallCGTN on #TalkAfrica 👇 youtu.be/hbKtmOF20xo?si=WK9r… For a more comprehensive outlook on Kenya's context, read this joint civil society advisory on the implementation of the Kenya–United States Cooperation Framework on health and the data sharing agreement. 👇 kelinkenya.org/wp-content/up… @HennetKenya @IILAinfo @katibainstitute @Zamara_fdn @ICJKenya @icw_kenya @Trans4mHealthKe @MandelaTb @TISAKenya @RaiseYourV_oice @Cofpak_Official #CostsOfConnection #Justice2Health

.@KELINKenya, the National Coordinator of Transform Health Kenya, is convening youth to shape the future of digital health. Inclusive systems must be co-created—ensuring accountability, data protection, and meaningful youth participation in advancing UHC. @Trans4mHealthKe @PHDA_Kenya @RaiseYourV_oice @ZuriHealth @AYARHEP_KENYA

📢Today marks a powerful step forward for public health in Kenya. @KELINKenya, alongside @IILAinfo, @aphrc, @KenyaNCCK, and @NCDAllianceKe, is proud to announce the launch of the "Food Policy Coalition Kenya". This is a unified platform championing stronger, evidence-based food environment policies. With non-communicable diseases accounting for 44% of deaths and over half of hospital admissions in Kenya, the urgency for action has never been clearer. This Coalition brings together partners committed to advancing healthier food systems, strengthening accountability, and protecting communities, especially children, from harmful food environments. #BetterFoodPolicies #HealthierFutures
