One of your FAME Scholarship recipients, a graduate and New Licensed Medical Doctor in Kenya reports feeling helpless due to a lack of resources, unpleasant working environment, and generally unsafe healthcare provision.
Currently, I work in my home county, with the local government at the Kajiado county 
Referral Hospital, which ideally is meant to be a level 5 hospital, but the service provision situation is wanting. The situation here gives me a feeling of dissatisfaction and it is not a good setup to effectively show the love of Jesus.
Working at the county hospital, we are helpless due to a lack of resources, an unpleasant working environment, and generally unsafe healthcare provision.
One week ago we lost a 23-year-old female, married, who hails from Kumpa (I know her husband), she presented at a local private clinic at Ilbissil with bleeding and Lower abdominal pain, and without any proper investigation, a procedure was performed and the uterus was perforated by mistake. This was not noticed and she was discharged home. A few days later her condition deteriorated and she came to the Kajiado referral hospital, where an ultrasound was noted to have an ectopic pregnancy, and also diagnosed with peritonitis (severe infection in the abdominal cavity), she went into septic shock and passed on 2 days after admission, the operation was delayed because the theatre was not clean and casual laborers have not been paid. This is saddening and heartbreaking.
This does not need to happen! That is why YOU through FAME are partnering with this Doctor (who grew up in a cow dung hut in Kajiado) to develop a Self-Sustaining Healthcare System in this desperate Kenyan County. Phase One is underway and so far FAME has committed $50,000 of the $150,000 Phase-One cost for the property to be purchased, fenced and a well drilled, preparing for the first Clinic of many in this region. Here is what this scholarship recipient said,
“It is always my dream that one day I’ll be able to offer safe quality healthcare to this desperate population, for the glory of God, as a way of thanksgiving to all of you who invested and trusted me.
I have a dream to develop a privatized self-sustainable healthcare system in Kajiado offering both primary and secondary healthcare services to maximize revenue generation, and that in the future the system will be able to operate with minimal or no support from donors.”
FAME is committed to a multi-year plan to impact millions of the Maasi people in this underserved region! When you partner with FAME – you bring help and hope to the people of Kenya and nearly 60 other Nations around the world! Thank you for your partnership!
