We are pleased to submit an update to our LiveWell Cards Project. Project to date we have raised money to deliver healthcare services to over 100 Kenyans.
Below are two patient stories from our newest clinic in Matopeni which opened in April.
- A young student attending Kayole North Primary school was referred by the
school deputy teacher who identified her as a needy child. She fell ill while at school and her parents
could not be reached. The primary school is one of the major institution earmarked for outreach
activities in Matopeni by LiveWell clinics. She was diagnosed and treated for pnuemonia after receiving a livewell card.
- An elderly lady was brought to the clinic by her friend and relative who from their opinion could
not raise money for her treatment. She is a residence of Kayole spring valley. She was provided
a livewell card and her visit resulted in diagnosis and treatment for malaria.
As a result of the LiveWell Cards given to patients who visited our Matopeni Clinic in May some of the diagnosis and treatment included Septic rush, 3 cases of Malaria, URTI,Pheumonia,Soft tissue and Amoebiasis.
USAID SHOPS project update also posted increased patient visits and sales in our Matopeni clinic. (please read attached USAID SHOPS Website update on our clinics.
