Medical Work

ed2If a child has a significant surgical problem or disability, the continent of Africa has little, or no, provision for those needs. Amidst desperate poverty and lack of sufficient medical specialists, most children with such conditions cannot find adequate care. We seek these children and care for them by:

  • operating BethanyKids at Kijabe Hospital;
  • regularly visiting over 15 mobile clinic sites across Kenya to screen for children who need care and for follow-up;
  • caring for refugees in the camps located in Kenya which house people from Sudan, Somalia, and Ethiopia;
  • providing medical care and rehabilitation for children at Joytown Primary School (a school for children with physical disabilities);
  • training nurses, doctors and surgeons in pediatric and rehabilitative surgery;
  • creating media programs to educate people across Kenya in the prevention and care of children who have surgical problems and disabilities.
