Innovation, Partnership and Infant Nutrition: Sacoma Champions Kendamil at PSK 2026
Driving Access to World-Class Infant Nutrition Across East and Central Africa
Sacoma Global Foods was proud to participate in the 46th Pharmaceutical Society of Kenya (PSK) Annual Scientific Conference 2026 held from 24 - 26 June 2026 at PrideInn Paradise Beach Resort, Mombasa.
Under the conference theme, "Pharmacists Leading Transformation and Innovation Towards the Highest Attainable Standards of Health," the event brought together more than 1,200 healthcare stakeholders, including pharmacists, pediatricians, doctors, hospital leaders, regulators, procurement specialists, manufacturers, distributors, development partners, financial institutions and academia.
For Sacoma Global Foods, the conference represented far more than an exhibition, it was an opportunity to strengthen healthcare partnerships, engage with key decision makers and advance our mission of improving access to high-quality nutrition across East and Central Africa.
Championing Kendamil's Regional Growth
As the licensed distributor with full distribution rights for Kendamil across East and Central Africa, Sacoma Global Foods is leading the brand's strategic market expansion throughout the region.
Our presence at PSK 2026 formed part of this wider commitment to introducing healthcare professionals and institutions to Kendamil's premium range of infant nutrition products while establishing long-term partnerships that support sustainable market growth.
Working alongside Kendal Nutricare, the UK manufacturer of Kendamil, we engaged extensively with healthcare professionals, institutional buyers and strategic partners to showcase Kendamil's commitment to quality, traceability, innovation and scientifically developed infant nutrition.
Building Relationships Across Kenya's Healthcare Ecosystem
Throughout the conference, our team met with:
- Paediatricians and neonatal specialists
- Doctors and pharmacists
- Community pharmacies
- Public and private hospitals
- Teaching and referral hospitals
- Procurement and supply chain leaders
- Pharmaceutical distributors
- Government and regulatory stakeholders
- Researchers and academic institutions
- Parents and caregivers
These engagements enabled valuable discussions around the evolving needs of infant nutrition across Kenya and the wider region, while identifying opportunities for stronger collaboration between healthcare providers, industry and international partners.
Promoting Responsible Infant Nutrition
At Sacoma Global Foods, we recognise that breastfeeding is the recommended first choice for infant nutrition and remains the best source of nourishment for babies wherever possible.
Alongside this important message, we introduced Kendamil as a trusted, premium infant formula option for families who require alternative feeding solutions, highlighting the brand's commitment to quality ingredients, rigorous manufacturing standards and nutritional excellence.
The conference also provided an opportunity to gather valuable insights from healthcare professionals regarding infant feeding challenges, product accessibility and opportunities to strengthen nutritional support for families across Kenya.
Creating Pathways for Future Collaboration
Beyond product introduction, PSK 2026 opened the door to new strategic collaborations across healthcare, pharmaceuticals, research and professional education.
Our discussions explored opportunities to:
- Strengthen healthcare capacity through international knowledge exchange.
- Support clinical education on infant nutrition.
- Collaborate on research and innovation.
- Develop partnerships with hospitals, pharmacies and healthcare institutions.
- Expand access to trusted nutritional products across East and Central Africa.
- Contribute towards improved maternal and child health outcomes.
These conversations reinforce Sacoma Global Foods' commitment to serving not only as a distributor but also as a strategic partner connecting global healthcare innovation with regional healthcare systems.
Looking Ahead
As a UK-based company with strong African roots, Sacoma Global Foods is committed to building sustainable partnerships that improve healthcare, nutrition and food systems across the continent.
Our exclusive distribution partnership with Kendamil represents more than bringing a premium infant nutrition brand into the region, it reflects our broader vision of connecting international innovation with local healthcare needs, supporting healthcare professionals and expanding access to safe, high-quality nutritional solutions for families.
We extend our sincere appreciation to the Pharmaceutical Society of Kenya for hosting an exceptional conference and to everyone who engaged with us throughout the event.
The conversations begun at PSK 2026 have laid the foundation for new partnerships, stronger healthcare collaboration and the continued expansion of Kendamil across East and Central Africa. We look forward to working alongside healthcare professionals, institutions and strategic partners as we help shape a healthier future for children and families throughout the region.
