The 2018 forum connected Universal Health Coverage to domestic financing, public-private partnerships, workforce capability, technologies, infrastructure, health information and county delivery. This page organises the report into usable thematic layers rather than reproducing the event timetable.
iiHSDPF brought academia, national and county health leadership, development partners, financial institutions, private providers, professional bodies and technology actors into one programme. Its report records an opening session, a UHC2030 keynote, 19 numbered technical sessions and county perspectives from Trans Nzoia, Nyeri and Mandera.
The central question was practical: how could public priorities be translated into stronger systems, investable projects, financing routes and institutional follow-through?
The report moves from UHC and aid effectiveness into PPPs, provider finance, workforce, infrastructure and data systems.
Selected opening and governance contributions.
Service delivery, governance and financing were presented as inseparable. The keynote emphasised primary healthcare, skilled workers, medicines and technologies, accountability, quality data, private-sector participation and cooperation across levels.
The health-workforce and professional perspective placed leadership, system performance and institutional reform within the wider UHC agenda.
County policy, institutional roles, capacity and the practical requirements for devolved health leadership formed the governance layer of the forum.
