Welcome to this month's Global Health Emergency Care Ground Round. Our speaker this month is Dr Alfred Saigero, Internal Medicine Physician and Head of the Nanyuki Teaching and Referral Hospital Emergency Department. Dr Saigero will be discussing the 'LAMP Project'.
Many people in Kenya seek secondary care as their first port of call for health complaints, specifically the emergency department. Local governments are looking to establishing primary care-style clinics to work in harmony with hospitals and the community, thereby reducing pressure on ED. LAMP (Laikipia afya mashinani project) is an example of this in a specifically rural setting.
