With deep gratitude, we reflect on the life-changing impact that the Mabati Medical Centre has had on the people of Kilifi County, thanks to the unwavering support of the GlobalGiving Community and its donors. Through your support, we have provided essential healthcare services to thousands of individuals, improving their quality of life and offering hope for a brighter future.
In the past four months, we have served 30,489 patients, providing critical medical care that alleviates suffering and restores health. Our diagnostic services have performed an impressive 14,711 tests, including 11,084 lab tests and 3,627 radiology examinations, enabling early detection and timely interventions that save lives.
Our preventative health programs are dedicated to reaching the most vulnerable populations, emphasizing the power of early detection and health education. Through targeted vaccination campaigns, we have safeguarded 107 children from preventable diseases, while our breastfeeding outreach has equipped 533 mothers with essential knowledge, fostering healthier outcomes for families.
We are particularly proud of our youth-focused initiatives, including the Adolescent and Youth-Friendly Clinic established at the Mabati Medical earlier this year, it has attended to 2,115 youth and adolescents so far. The project has provided essential care for mental health, addressed teenage pregnancies, and supported HIV prevention.
Mabati Medical Centre's Physiotherapy Clinic is making strides and has provided essential rehabilitation to 1,181 patients by September 2024.
The HIV clinic plays a crucial role in preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV, with 12 patients currently enrolled in Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) at our Ante-natal care program.
Our partnership initiatives have further amplified our impact. A dedicated consultant gynecologist has come on board to offer specialized care, and through the State Department for Social Security and Protection, we encourage youth to register in self-help groups at our clinic, fostering empowerment and community solidarity.
A compelling testament to our work is the story of a 19-year-old girl from Mariakani, whose education was interrupted by an unexpected pregnancy, plunging her into depression. Through the unwavering support of our staff at the Youth-Friendly Clinic, she received vital counseling, enabling her to return to school. Today, she thrives, skilfully balancing her education and motherhood, embodying resilience and hope.
With your steadfast support, we will continue to expand our reach, bringing health, hope, resilience, and healing to even more families in Kilifi County. Thank you for making our work possible through your generosity.
