On June 11th, after months of planning, KQI hosted a full-day conference at Sankara Hotel in Nairobi, Kenya. With a goal of developing an Improvement Science hub in Kenya, multidisciplinary teams received in-person QI training from their international colleagues. Both process and systemic challenges currently impacting patient care in Kenya were addressed through improvement initiatives developed and implemented by these multidisciplinary teams.
On June 12th, our international team had the opportunity to visit one of the hospitals in Kenya. We were privileged to be on the frontlines of the QI initiatives identifying opportunities that would continue to benefit from our Improvement Science partnership.
I am extremely hopeful for the future of healthcare on the African continent and remain committed to making a difference, one outcome at a time.
