Frontline health workers need training, tools, ready facilities, and ongoing support. PATH Kenya recently supported emergency care training for 36 providers in Kajiado.
What support would make the biggest difference in your community?

‘The Underdog’
They may never know how much their seeing me, accepting me and appreciating me poured deeply into my spirit and soul, making this moment one that is forever etched into my mind’s eye.
‘The Underdog’ is inspired by Paul in 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, who says;
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”
Moderating and speaking at the Medic East Africa conference was quite the experience.
My sessions explored the role of primary health care for securing the health of communities and particularly mothers and their babies.
