Our MedTreks team just returned from our time in Kenya working with Village HopeCore International. As always, it was a week full of education, training, collaboration, laughter and of course competition, as we had our annual Kenya VS U.S soccer match! (Kenya won during penalty kicks!) Here are a few highlights from our trip:
1. Helping Babies Breathe: Our MedTreks team trained and certified 20 HopeCore staff on the course, Helping Babies Breathe. In addition to this training, MedTreks certified 2 HopeCore staff to be certified instructors of Helping Babies Breathe, they will now be ready to teach and certify other Kenyan's in their community! We were grateful to the Perinatal Rescue Association for sponsoring this training.
2. Telemedicine in Kenya: we successfully initiated our Telehealth program in Kenya. Each of our nurses at HopeCore has tablets that they use daily during the mobile clinics. We installed the telehealth application and trained our nurses on the basics of navigating the application. Our MedTreks team looks forward to providing ongoing training and consultation to our medical staff in Kenya through Telehealth in the future!
Thank you for your continued support and helping our program expand!
