WORLDWIDE: NEWS FROM TEMOS ALLIANCE
On June 8th, Temos-certified healthcare manager Agile Global Health gathered key stakeholders in Kenya’s National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) Cardiac Surgery Program from around Kenya and the globe for a half-day cardiac summit in Nairobi. Since October 2016, over 300 Kenyans have received NHIF-covered cardiac interventions or open-heart surgeries as part of the “NHIF @50” Cardiac Surgery Program. A key enabler of NHIF success has been Agile Global Health’s disciplined management focus on data capture, analysis, and continual monitoring, which has allowed the program to continuously adapt to emerging opportunities and challenges. “This conference was a critical turning point in ensuring that all stakeholders clearly understood why NHIF chose us to implement this program, and how we are making all its disparate parts function collectively, to the benefit of patients and the capacity of Kenya’s health system,” said Joyce Wambugu, Agile’s Nairobi-based Care Director. “I believe the question ‘why Agile Global Health?’ was answered that day.”
The June conference was an opportunity for key leaders from NHIF and Agile Global Health to celebrate the program’s tremendously successful first eight months and collaborate on its future.
