WHO Kenya Focal Point for Health Observatory Leonard Cosmas told Xinhua in Nairobi that currently funds are being mobilized in order to finance the establishment of the National Health Observatory.

"We hope to have a prototype in place by the end of the year and a fully operational health observatory in two years," Cosmas said on the sidelines of the National Workshop on Data for Sustainable Development.

Cosmas said discussions are currently on going with the Kenya government on modalities of implementation process. "We are identifying the components that will be included on the online platform," he added.

Cosmas said that once in place the health observatory will serve as a platform for better synergy and harmonization of researchers, academics, public and private sector actors in the health sector.
