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

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
-
With your help, we can provide quality, affordable health care to those in need
