Twice every year, HopeCore hosts the Medtreks medical team in a collaborative community and global health seminar. The week is full of health education, clinical skills, training, and knowledge exchange between the two teams, HopeCore and Medtreks. The medtreks mentorship program sponsors health education and training for the health team at HopeCore.
In 2020 the MedTreks team did not manage to make their second visit to Kenya due to the COVID 19 travel restrictions but we continued to support HopeCore’s Public Health team through virtual training. We are excited that a team of 7 MedTreks volunteers is making a visit to Village HopeCore in August 2021. During this visit the team shall:
ü Conduct a health fair/outreach event for community vision screening and Join the Public Health team in training Community Health Volunteers.
ü Train 35 HopeCore Public Health staff on hypertension
ü Train program managers/Coordinators on Leadership.
ü Train 8 clinical staff on various health topics
Additionally, the MedTreks team shall donate medical equipment to HopeCore’s Community Clinic and provide clinical scrubs donated by FIGs to Village HopeCore.
