Strengthening efficient and responsive health systems through AI-driven digital solutions is at the core of #IamAPHRC’s partnership with @MurangaGovt_021 . The collaboration is supporting smarter pharmaceutical management systems, evidence-informed decision-making, and stronger health service delivery across county health facilities.
Murang’a County’s new partnership with #Starlink to connect 170 health facilities with satellite internet marks an important step in accelerating this work. Enhanced connectivity will help power digital health innovations, enable real-time access to critical information, and improve coordination and efficiency in healthcare delivery, especially in hard-to-reach areas.
#IamAPHRC’s Project Manager, @IBusulwa , was present during the launch, reaffirming the Center’s commitment to supporting innovative, technology-enabled healthcare solutions that strengthen county health systems and improve service delivery for communities.
The investment reflects growing collaboration between research, government, and technology partners to advance resilient, people-centered healthcare systems.

At today’s Art of Pitching session, Irene Kulabako reminded Ugandan creatives that a great pitch is your story before the story.
Start small. Be real. Practice a lot. Partner smart.

2.6 million people die from alcohol and 8 million from unhealthy diets annually.
Increasing taxes on #alcohol and sugar-sweetened beverages will save lives.
More information: bit.ly/415SFDf
ALT The World Health Organization (WHO) is releasing today new data that show a low global rate of taxes being applied to unhealthy products such as alcohol and sugary sweetened beverages (SSBs). The findings highlight that the majority of countries are not using taxes to incentivize healthier behaviours. To help support countries WHO is also releasing a technical manual on alcohol tax policy and administration.
