LiveWell Clinics projects report Fall 2011

We are having a mini-launch of our Kerugoya Clinic this Saturday 22nd October. Guest of Honors will include the Mayor of Kerugoya, the District Commissioner and the Medical Officer of Health is also expected. Full preparations in gear, definitely will send a report and pictures after.
Community Outreach
LiveWell is happy to announce the appointment of 7 'LiveWell Ambassadors' in Kayole. The seven are all highly respected women working and living in Kayole, who have used LiveWell Services. Ambassadors will act as key liaisons for LiveWell in the community, promoting trial of LiveWell services and most importantly, providing us with feedback from the community and suggesting improvements in service packages and delivery. We shall share profiles of the Ambassadors with time, and look to replicate these appointments at all clinics. We also wish to recruit men as Ambassadors, to build up to 10 Ambassadors for the main Kayole Clinic.
YTD Treatment
In September LiveWell Clinics provided over 2,000 treatments to needy patients, a growth of over 100% of numbers recorded in January!
Prevention Programs
October is 'Hygiene and Prevention' Month at LiveWell. In addition to provision of free Breast Cancer Checks, LiveWell Clinics are all promoting improved Hygiene through talks at nearby Schools and with organised womens' and MFI groups. We also have special offers on toothpaste, toothbrushes, disinfectant and soaps.
Leveraging Technology
Our clinic in Matopeni is the first recipient of Carego Internationals practiceforce Electronic Patient Record application. LiveWell Clinics also uses healthsoft application in the Kayole clinic to manage patient records. At LiveWell Clinics we are utilizing these technologies with our mobile Early Detection and Technology System (EDPS) so community healthcare workers can diagnose and detect disease as they reach into rural areas to deliver healthcare. We are committed to leveraging sustainable innovation to impact healthcare in rural areas.
