The world will crush this shared pandemic and emerge stronger

The story of US leadership in the global battle against Covid-19 is a story of days, months and decades. Every day, new US technical and material assistance arrives in hospitals and labs around the world. The efforts, in turn, build on a decades-long foundation of American expertise, generosity and planning that is unmatched in history.

Here in Kenya, over 50 years of support from the US for health providers and health systems has provided the foundation for Kenya’s ability to surveil, trace, test, and treat patients to combat Covid-19. With over Sh60 billion in annual support, the US is the largest international investor in Kenya’s health sector.
