Official releases, media assets, spokespeople, and coverage on Kenya's national commitment to end preventable maternal and newborn deaths.
His Excellency the President officially launched the Every Woman Every Newborn Everywhere Acceleration Plan at a national ceremony in Nairobi, committing KES 950.6 million to end preventable maternal and newborn deaths by 2027.
Kenya's 100-day sprint has commenced, with the first cohort of health workers enrolled in Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care training across 20 high-burden counties — the fastest scale-up in Kenya's health history.
County governors from all 20 high-burden counties formally committed to the Rapid Results Initiative targets, ring-fencing MNH budgets and inaugurating county-level EWENE steering committees.
Three of Kenya's largest development partners have signed alignment agreements, pooling technical assistance and financial resources behind the EWENE Acceleration Plan to avoid fragmentation.
The Ministry of Health has launched the public Maternal and Newborn Health Scorecard, updating weekly data on facility readiness, stockouts, and deaths by county — making Kenya a continental leader in maternal health transparency.
A two-day consultative workshop brought together 100+ researchers, clinicians, county officials, and civil society leaders to validate and strengthen the EWENE Acceleration Plan before its Presidential launch.
The SMS-based maternal death notification system has achieved near-universal adoption across 15 of the 20 priority counties in its first two weeks, with 94% of deaths notified within 24 hours — well ahead of schedule.
Following the EWENE commitment, Kilifi County has completed construction and staffing of three sub-county maternity units, bringing skilled birth attendance to remote coastal communities.
