Transform Health Kenya is a coalition of organisations and institutions in Kenya working on health and human rights,
working with key and affected populations, youth, women, and on digital health technologies,
all of whom are committed to achieving Universal Health Coverage through the use of digital technologies and data.
The coalition is coordinated by the Kenya Legal & Ethical Issues Network on HIV and AIDS (KELIN), a non-governmental organisation that advocates for the holistic and rights-based system of service delivery in health and for the full enjoyment of the right to health by all, including the vulnerable, marginalised and excluded populations.
