The below change story outlines the impact of our healthcare program in Kilifi County.
"A 78-year-old female from a rural village in Bamba, Kilifi, diagnosed with diabetes and hypertension has been struggling to access quality healthcare before coming to the Mabati Medical Centre. With no reliable source of income to pay for his medical treatment, she walked 41 kilometres with the hope of finding support instead of giving up on her health. She visited the Mabati Medical Centre in November 2023 and was enrolled into our diabetes clinic for free medical consultations, drugs, and treatment. Currently, the 78-year-old lady is managing her condition better with the support from our medical staff and strong enough to move around with ease to take care of her grandchildren. Giving hope to patients like this old lady has been made possible by donors and supporters like you.” For this reason, we are forever grateful!
We are always inspired by the immerse support from our donors and reaffirm our commitment to stepping up our efforts even further in 2024. We are committed to deliver innovative, impactful services that will reach more marginalized populations.Together we will continue towards increasing access to quality and affordable healthcare in Kenya to increase the productivity of community members in Kilifi County, Kenya.
