Poor Kenyans, especially women and children, suffer from ill health, disease, and malnutrition. Often lacking local access to quality healthcare or transport to health facilities. Everyday women and babies die during home birthing. Lack of knowledge about health issues and superstitions perpetuate unhealthy choices that cost lives and suffering. Kenyans need quality care that they trust and feel able to return to for follow up treatment.
TEL International and its partners supports rural and poor urban health clinics, outreach units and village health posts for thousands of patients in Nairobi, Kenya. These facilities provide treatment for injury and illness, medical exams, laboratory analysis, nutrition services, vaccinations, midwifery, pharmacy, minor surgery, dentistry, health education and reproductive healthcare. Workshops on reproductive health and other health related programs are scheduled regularly for expectant mothers in order to help prevent illness, infection and disease.
