Health technologies can only deliver their full potential when the people using them have the skills, knowledge and support to do so effectively.

Investing in health technology must therefore go hand in hand with investing in the health workforce. Continuous training, mentorship and capacity building are essential to ensure health workers can confidently adopt, use and sustain new technologies in their day-to-day practice.

With a well-trained workforce, supportive policies and guidelines, sustainable financing and strong health systems, technology can move beyond innovation to improve the quality, efficiency and accessibility of care.

Today, we joined the IMPROVECare Study team for a productive meeting that brought together representatives from County Government 047 Pumwani Maternity Referral Hospital, Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital, Mbagathi County Referral Hospital,PeriGen and rescue.co Emergency Services.

The meeting reflected on progress and field experiences, the role of AI-enhanced care in improving intrapartum care, sustainability, and the next steps toward strengthening maternal and newborn outcomes.

We’re grateful to all our partners for the valuable insights, collaboration, and shared commitment to making childbirth safer and improving health outcomes for mothers and newborns.

A good health innovation is only as useful as the system that can take it from an idea to everyday use. That means looking beyond the innovation itself and asking: Is it needed? What does the evidence tell us? Is it accessible and affordable? Do the policies and guidelines support its introduction? Is there financing to make it possible? And does the health system have the capacity and structures to adopt and sustain it?

Strengthening these pathways means bringing together data and evidence, policies and guidelines, financing, regulation, health systems and implementation to make better decisions about which innovations to prioritise and how best to introduce them. It is about ensuring promising solutions do not stop at potential, but move from evidence to action and ultimately translate into better health outcomes.

Health innovations can only make an impact when they are relevant to the needs of the health system and the people it serves.

This means creating better pathways for identifying, assessing and introducing solutions that respond to real health needs, while strengthening local manufacturing, regulation, research, supply systems and the use of evidence in decision-making.

The focus is not simply on having more innovations, but on ensuring that the right solutions reach the health system at the right time, in the right way and can be sustained over time.

Health innovations can only make a difference when they are available, affordable, and accessible to the people who need them.

Strengthening local production, improving health financing, creating supportive policies, and building stronger systems for the adoption and delivery of health technologies are key to making this a reality.

As conversations around assistive technology and other health innovations continue, the focus is on creating an enabling environment where locally developed solutions can grow, reach more communities, and contribute to better health outcomes.

Today, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the African Center for Health Workforce Initiative and Transformation (ACHWIT), bringing together two organisations with a shared commitment to strengthening Africa’s health workforce and building resilient, equitable and equitable health systems.

Our common ground is rooted in research, evidence-informed policy, capacity building and supporting solutions that respond to the health workforce challenges facing countries across Africa. We also share a commitment to bringing different actors together, strengthening collaboration and ensuring that evidence can inform policies and practices that make a difference.

Through this partnership, we look forward to combining our expertise and working together on research, capacity building, policy engagement and sharing evidence and lessons to support a stronger, better-supported and more effective health workforce across Africa.

Day five of the review of the DHPT Guidelines, and what a week it has been. From developing the SOPs and reviewing the second draft of the HPT Guidelines to getting hands-on with the updated Donations Portal, the team has kept the momentum going.

Giving his remarks, Prof. Fred Were expressed his gratitude to the team for their dedication and commitment throughout the process, recognising the expertise, energy and hard work that has gone into shaping these important tools. He also highlighted the importance of bringing the process to completion and seeing the work translate into stronger systems for managing health products and technologies.

Dr. Nazila Ganatra, Director of Health Products and Technologies at the Ministry of Health, also acknowledged the progress made, noting that the guidelines and SOPs are taking shape. She highlighted the importance of clearly documenting the donation process, including taxation, approvals, responsibilities and other requirements. She also appreciated the team for helping move the Donations Portal forward after years of being stalled.

Five days of ideas, discussions, teamwork and learning, with plenty of progress along the way. We’re closer to the finish line, and there’s still more work to do.

Day two of the DHPT Guidelines review continued with the team reflecting on the progress made so far and working through the key areas of the guidelines that require further input and refinement.

Dr. Jonah Maina of DHPT gave an overview of the progress made so far, taking the team through the draft guidelines, the chapters already developed and the areas to be worked on. Dr. Nazila Ganatra, Director of Health Products and Technologies at the The Ministry of Health, officially opened the meeting and appreciated the team for the progress made so far. She emphasized the importance of having the guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) as key documents that will provide clear processes and procedures for managing health products and technologies in Kenya.

The team then delved into a session on the Donations Portal, looking at the challenges around health donations, including receiving products that do not match identified needs and the lack of a structured process for requesting, approving and receiving donations. The discussion explored how the portal can help create a more coordinated process, bringing together user departments, counties and donors, while improving accountability and ensuring donations are aligned with the country’s health needs.

The conversation also touched on local donations, logistics and costs, interoperability with other systems, and the need for clear policies to guide the entire donations process.

We’re back at PrideInn Athi River, building on the work from our previous engagement. Day One kicked off with a recap of the draft and a look at what we’re here to achieve.

By the end of the workshop, the team aims to refine the first draft of the Health Products and Technologies (HPT) Guidelines 2026, develop practical SOPs for HPT management processes, and review the proposed Donations Portal.

And the room is buzzing. Different groups are diving into the document, making edits and bringing different perspectives to the table, all in the spirit of getting the guidelines right.

How do we create better solutions for the health challenges communities face?

It starts with understanding the problem. What conditions are affecting people? Who is most affected? What gaps exist in care? And what does the data tell us?

Once we understand the need, we can develop solutions that respond to it, from better diagnostics and specialised care to technology, research and new approaches to healthcare.

So, what should come first? 👇🏾

A. New technology
B. Better infrastructure
C. Understanding the problem
We choose C.
Because the best solutions start with understanding the need.
