On 17th October 2023, H.E. Ambassador OKANIWA Ken attended the exhibition “A Day to Experience Japanese Medical Devices”, which was hosted by the Office of Healthcare Policy, Cabinet Secretariat, and supported by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of the Government of Japan, in Nairobi. Twelve Japanese companies that manufacture medical equipment exhibited some of their products, such as devises that support prevention and early diagnosis of diseases, treatment and provision of health services in remote regions among others. The event was well attended and attracted many visitors from various hospitals around Kenya, some universities and local firms who met with the officials of the Japanese companies. In his speech, Ambassador OKANIWA hoped that the companies find new business opportunities or potential partners in Kenya. Ambassador hoped that Japanese medical equipment will contribute more to improve the health status of the Kenyan people, and called for promotion of the medical products on display, especially for early detection and treatment in the context of increasing non-communicable disease cases in Kenya.
