We offer care to refugees, survivors of sexual violence and people who use drugs in Kenya, and respond to public health challenges, including HIV.

For over 30 years, our teams have been providing care to communities in and around the Dadaab refugee camp. In our 100-bed hospital in Dagahaley, part of the Dadaab refugee camp, our teams conduct outpatient consultations, and admit patients to the hospital, including children with severe malnutrition.

In Kiambu, our clinic offers care for people who use drugs – who are often excluded from healthcare services. The Methadone Assisted Therapy (MAT) clinic aims to reduce the morbidity and mortality of people addicted to heroin. It caters for all healthcare needs including mental health and psychosocial support.

In response to measles outbreaks in Tiaty West and Moite, Marsabit county, we worked closely with the local health authorities to provide treatment, vaccinations for children, and awareness-raising activities, and to strengthen epidemiological surveillance. In Turkana county, in March, we launched a six-week response to tackle a surge in malaria cases. As well as offering treatment, our teams distributed mosquito nets and trained community health promoters to test for the disease in remote villages. We assisted with cholera responses in Nairobi and Narok by setting up treatment centres, donating medical supplies, conducting community awareness-raising activities, and improving water and sanitisation facilities.  

The humanitarian landscape in Dadaab refugee complex evolved amid global funding reductions. Humanitarian organisations and communities worked to mitigate the risk of deteriorating living conditions and reduced access to healthcare. Our teams in Dagahaley camp, within the Dadaab complex, continued to deliver general healthcare and specialist referrals, working at health posts and conducting outreach activities to increase access to care.  

Following deadly landslides in Elgeyo-Marakwet county, we provided emergency medical support, referrals, vaccinations, and relief items, such as jerrycans and soap. We also improved water and sanitation facilities by installing latrines, showers, and solar lighting, and supplying clean water.

Meanwhile, in the capital, Nairobi, we expanded our youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health services by running mobile clinics in the city’s informal settlements. We also assisted people with violence-related injuries sustained in anti-government protests in Nairobi and Kisumu, through ambulance referrals and treatment at the trauma clinic in Eastlands. In Homa Bay, our teams offered general, specialist, and palliative care, and supported hospitals with treatment for tuberculosis and non-communicable diseases.

In Wajir and Marsabit counties, we worked to reduce deaths from kala azar, a neglected tropical disease caused by the bite of sand flies, by strengthening treatment, water and sanitation services, and preventive measures in Wajir and Loglogo hospitals. In Mombasa, we supported the response to an mpox outbreak by providing inpatient care and vaccinations, expanding bed capacity for isolation, and improving infection prevention measures in Utange hospital.
