The Clinic

Learn More About

The Mama Pilista Bonyo Memorial Health Centre, accredited by the Kenyan government as a National Hospital Insurance Fund clinic, is located in the village of Wangaya, Kenya. The health centre provides sustainable, cooperative health care to the thousands of residents of the village and its surrounding communities. Bonyo's Kenya Mission achieves its goals daily by staffing the clinic with year-round medical personnel 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We are grateful to our deeply dedicated clinic team for providing sustainable general and preventative medical care.

​

The clinic has successful and significant impact on people's lives by providing these many following services:

  • ​We provide both outpatient and inpatient (including maternity) care.

 

  • We pay for over 120 families to have NHIF access.

​

  • We are an officially registered HIV/TB treatment centre that is significantly reducing the damage done by HIV/ AIDS and tuberculosis through its work in diagnostics, education, treatment, support, and prevention.

​​

  • Our partnerships with the FACES program (Family AIDS Care and Education Services) and the Kenyan Ministry of Health allow us to provide mother-child Antennatal Care (ANC), Postnatal Care (PNC), and Prevention of Mother to Child Tranmission of HIV (PMTCT) programs. The PNC program includes nutritional support, child monitoring from birth to 5 years old, and insures they get their necessary immunizations. We currently have 204 HIV patients enrolled in the FACES program, which provides them with necessary antretroviral (ARV) treatments, ensures they take their treatments properly, and offers ongoing supportive counseling.

  • We offer diagnosis and treatment of malaria, which continues to be a leading killer in Kenya, especially of children under age 5 and pregnant mothers. While the Kenyan Ministry of Health provides some medication, it is never enough to keep up with the demand. The generosity of our donors helps us keep the necessary, often lifesaving, medications in stock.

​​

  • Through early treatment and education, we have contributed significantly to the drop in death rates from pneumonia, diarrheal illnesses and other curable diseases.

 

  • The clinic's laboratory and pharmacy have greatly improved our basic wound care; helping to significantly reduce infection rates.

  • We provide Ob/Gyn care, including cervical cancer screening, pregnancy testing, contraception, and maternity care.

​​

  • Our eye clinic is able to get accurate vision testing and has provided glasses and sunglasses to hundreds of patients. We have partnered with the Lions Club of Kisumu to provide our patients with much needed cataract surgery.

​​

  • We are currently developing a dental care program. We have been giving bi-yearly fluoride treatments to children in the local schools along with dental hygiene education.

​​

  • We are also in the process of getting our radiology department up and running, pending approval from the radiation board.

Bonyo's Kenya Mission is very proud of the work we do, but there is so much more we want to get done.
