Engender Health – Kenya

Kenya faces a reproductive health care crisis caused by two converging trends-increased demands for care due to a young population, and the HIV epidemic. And after decades of improvement, child mortality rates are worsening. Fundamental changes in how Kenyans receive health care are needed.

EngenderHealth’s work in Kenya dates to 1982 and has expanded through the years in response to evolving needs. Initially, our family planning programs focused on training doctors in safer, more client-centered surgical sterilization and counseling styles. Today, EngenderHealth’s breadth of work includes maternal health care, HIV prevention, child survival initiatives, and more.
