In Kiambu county, we worked with the local government to implement effective health care solutions for people who use drugs, such as offering medically assisted therapy in smaller, local clinics close to where people live.
Our teams also responded to several emergencies in 2023. In November, the northeast of Kenya experienced significant rainfall, resulting in flooding that displaced thousands of families. We launched a rapid emergency response to deliver medical care and distribute hygiene kits to affected communities.
In Ileret, Marsabit county, we drilled wells to provide access to clean water and treated malnutrition. In Mandera, we responded to a cholera outbreak with care for patients and community outreach activities, while in Turkana, our teams conducted vaccinations and offered treatment for malnutrition, malaria and measles.
Throughout the year, we continued to work on improving HIV care in the country. In Homa Bay, we supported the county referral hospital’s adult medical wards with staff, treatment and follow-up care.
