Medical mission to rural Kenya
SVQF launched, organized, and funded a medical mission by The Paul Chester Children’s Hope Foundation (PCCHF) to Free The Children’s clinic in Kenya’s Narok South District, a rural and impoverished area where there are no doctors, dentists, or medical consultants available to serve the district’s 53,000 inhabitants. The team, which was specifically tailored to meet the district’s most pressing medical needs, consisted of a telemedicine specialist, two orthopedic surgeons, an ophthalmologist, a pediatrician, a dentist, a dental assistant, a nurse, and the PCCHF founder. Over the course of 2 days, the medical mission team saw 400 patients with issues ranging from respiratory infections to severe birth defects.
