A. L. Story
We, my wife who is also and MD, have served in many areas including the Asian tsunami of 2004 as first responders, Hurricane Katrina, and a tuberculosis hospital in India. We are interested in working in the western part of Kenya where healthcare is neither easily accessible nor affordable for many Kenyans living in the rural villages. Poverty creates a large barrier to the acquisition of healthcare in general, but in rural areas in particular. Although overnment-run hospitals do exist in the Western Province of 3.5 million people, most of the locals in the more rural village communities cannot afford consultation, treatment or pharmacy fees. Nor can they afford transport to these government clinics and hospitals, which are located in the larger towns and cities. Diarrhea, measles, tetanus, pertussis, pneumonia, and malnutrition are preventable and treatable and yet they kill thousands of people every year. Other diseases such as malaria, typhoid, and gastroenteritis are also manageable when proper treatment is available. We do not airfare provide. Thank you,
