Healthcare products manufacturer Johnson & Johnson has set up an East African operations hub in Nairobi. They said the move will help them understand the market better and come up with innovations that will solve the country's health problems. Jane Griffiths, Group chairman Europe, Middle East and Africa, said in Nairobi on Wednesday that new vaccines and devices for better disease management will be manufactured in the Nairobi hub. Johnson & Johnson has its other office in South Africa. Peter Kimuu, head of policy, planning and health financing at the Ministry of Health, said that the health sector needs more input from private sector players in order to improve services.
