Description
Tolani E - In 1998, CURE International, in cooperation with the African Inland Church, opened the A.I.C-CURE International Hospital in Kijabe, Kenya. Along with being CURE International’s flagship hospital, CURE Kenya was Africa’s first orthopedic pediatric teaching hospital for children with physical disabilities. The hospital provides care for children suffering from a wide range of orthopedic conditions, such as clubfoot, bow legs, knock knees, burn contractures, cerebral palsy, osteomyelitis, and other acquired or congenital conditions. Adults are treated for several conditions such as joint and back pains and other sports related injuries. We also conduct mobile clinics across 24 counties to identify children in remote areas who need treatment at the hospital and to also provide follow-up care for those who were treated earlier.
CURE Kenya currently attracts patients from across the country who seek for specialized orthopedic treatment. Thousands of lives of both adults and children have been transformed for the better since CURE Kenya was established. Through training of surgeons, nurses, and other healthcare professionals, we aim to improve the country’s overall capacity to treat nagging orthopedic complications.
