We are improving maternal and child health, one step at a time! Our #MNCH program, together with partner Save the Children Kenya, conducted support supervision of 40 health facilities in Makadara and Kamukunji sub-counties alongside the sub-county health management team. We employed five supervision tools to ensure that health professionals are prepared to respond to emergencies and deliver the highest quality of care. #maternalhealth #childhealth #EMNOC
"Many women in my community aren’t aware of the risks associated with cervical cancer or don’t have access to reliable health education. But when cancer is detected early, as it was in my case, the chances of successful treatment are much higher." On this #WorldCancerDay, we celebrate Nadia, a warrior who overcame cervical #cancer at Tabitha Medical Clinic. Now, she encourages everyone, especially women, to be proactive about their health and go for annual cancer screening: https://cfkafrica.org/the-health-talk-at-tabitha-medical-clinic-that-changed-my-life/ Tabitha Medical Clinic offers free cancer screening. Please get tested. It could save your life.
