Enhancing Healthcare Capacity and Community Awareness for CAH in Kenya

Kenyatta National Hospital and University and University of Nairobi Department of Paediatrics and Child Health aims to tackle the challenges of CAH in Kenya through a multifaceted approach. It begins with educating healthcare workers on early diagnosis and management of CAH, developing training programs and protocols to ensure timely referrals and comprehensive care. Simultaneously, public awareness campaigns via social media will target the general population to increase understanding of CAH symptoms to reduce associated stigma. A baseline study on CAH prevalence across Kenyan hospitals will provide crucial data for informing healthcare policies and resource allocation. Additionally, the project seeks to establish patient and caregiver support groups, providing a platform for mutual support, education, and empowerment. By integrating these efforts and leveraging partnerships with healthcare institutions and professional societies, the project aims to significantly improve outcomes for individuals living with CAH in Kenya, enhancing both medial care and social systems.
