Community Health Improvement Seminar

Arrow Web Hospital partnered with the Embakasi District Health Nurse's Office and recently held a seminar at the Hotel Central Park Nairobi.  This partnership was initiated by Mrs. Florence, Arrow Web Hospital's Community Outreach Team Leader.  The seminar's focus was on community health improvements.  All of the community health centers and clinics in Embakasi were invited to attend. We discussed the importance of networking among the existing health care providers.  All involved agreed that a coordinating team should be selected and we are happy to report that one of the Arrow Web Hospital doctors was chosen to lead this team. The event was more successful than we ever anticipated.  We are all looking forward to working in collaboration to promote healthy living in our community.

Alison Lowndes from AVIF Visits Arrow Web Hospital

Alison Lowndes, the founder of AVIF in the UK, recently traveled to Kenya and paid a visit to Bramuel and the Arrow Web Hospital staff.  Alison is actively working to help the hospital raise the funds necessary to pay for a shipping container to get needed medical equipment from the UK to the hospital in Kenya.  The shipping container will be filled with equipment donated by UK based charity, Aid to Hospitals Worldwide.


(Did you notice the great bicycles from Tour D'Afrique in the picture above?)


You can help us raise the funds necessary to ship this life saving equipment to Kenya - you can make an online donation by clicking here and visiting our page at Just Giving.

It is critical that these funds be raised before July 2010 to pay for the container to ship as planned.
