Dr. Genuine Agakhan Desireh

I am Dr. Genuine Agakhan Desireh — a pharmacist, public health consultant, and human-centred service design specialist with over five years of dedicated experience leading sexual and reproductive health (SRH) programs, digital health platforms, and health systems initiatives in Kenya.

“Digital health interventions succeed when they meet people where they are — respecting their dignity, ensuring privacy, and designing services alongside the adolescents and health providers who rely on them.”

I currently serve as a Digital Consultant at EngenderHealth Kenya, driving the national rollout of digitized family planning curricula across 17 counties for the Ministry of Health Virtual Academy, with over 350 healthcare providers trained. I also serve on the global Advisory Committee for the NextGen RH Adolescent Community of Practice and previously managed 15 healthcare and pharmacy facilities across 10 Kenyan counties. Certified in Human-Centred Design by Acumen Academy, I partner with Elite Designs Kenya to guide digital health strategy, adolescent participatory research, and service design fidelity.
