Virtual Voyage: Beyond the clinic

Families living in rural Kenya have a hard time getting medical care.  Join the Virtual Voyage as we follow staff at the Kenyenya hospital who, with the support of the Aga Khan Hospital in Kisumu, bridge the gap in health care by setting up medical outreach clinics:  “Taking hospital to people, rather than having people coming to hospital.”  With the support of the Aga Khan Foundation, Kenya’s public healthcare system has provided outreach services to thousands of people. (This video was filmed prior to COVID-19).
