Health Care

​​

• With the help of Dr. Amos Otedo, we have already conducted many medical screening events at the former Victory Christian School (VCS) building​ and elsewhere

​

• The focus is to screen for diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cancers, as well as many communicable diseases like Malaria, Pneumonia, and HIV

​

• IKI most recently conducted a screening event serving over 300 patients including 75 children​

​

• Further screenings will be carried out over 16 sites in the communities of the greater Kisumu and Siaya counties

​

• Learn more about our plans to construct a dedicated hospital and better provide quality health care below

The Way Forward

​​

• Access to health care is very difficult in rural Kenya, with an estimated 30% of people either unable to reach or afford health services

​

• Additionally, the doctor to patient ratio in a general outpatient clinic or government hospital is 1 to 19,000 in Kisumu county and 1 to 21,000 in Siaya county 

​

• Which is why IKI plans to construct a dedicated community hospital to provide quality, affordable healthcare

​

• Our initial priorities will be the accommodation of out-patients,  consultation rooms, 50 beds for in patients, X-ray capability, laboratory with blood storage capacity, a surgical theater with 2 operating beds allowing simultaneous surgeries
