The overarching goal of the proposed medical program is to establish a robust and sustainable initiative that addresses the multifaceted needs of individuals with hemophilia in Kenya. This comprehensive approach aims to ensure the timely and equitable distribution of factor, enhance medical staff’s expertise through specialized training, address mental health concerns, provide membership identification cards, and organize family events for the community.
Medical Program
This program’s target areas include Jose Memorial Hemophilia Society-Kenya members, healthcare professionals at MP Shah Hospital, and individuals with hemophilia across Kenya. By focusing on these key stakeholders, the program creates a positive impact, on the lives of those directly affected by hemophilia, and the medical professionals responsible for their care.
The beneficiaries of this program encompass various groups:
Members of JMHSK
This group stands to benefit from the program’s efforts to ensure equitable access to factor and the provision of mental health support. The program aims to enhance the overall well-being of society members through these targeted interventions.
Individuals with hemophilia in Kenya
The primary focus is on those diagnosed with hemophilia, who will benefit from timely access to factor treatment, mental health support services, the issuance of membership identification cards, and the opportunity to participate in family events. These initiatives collectively aim to improve the quality of life for individuals with hemophilia and foster a sense of community.
Healthcare Professionals
The specialized training, provided as part of the program will empower healthcare professionals with the necessary skills and knowledge to deliver effective hemophilia care. This benefits the individual patients and contributes to building a cadre of healthcare providers proficient in hemophilia management.
Program Sustainability
The sustainability of this program relies on a diversified source of funds. The primary financial support comes from the society’s registration fees, demonstrating the commitment and contribution of its members. Additionally, the program actively seeks donations and explores potential partnerships with pharmaceutical companies and other organizations willing to support the provision of factor and associated medical services. Grants tailored to fund medical training programs and mental health initiatives will be actively pursued. Furthermore, family events are partially funded through strategic sponsorships and collaborations with local businesses and community organizations, ensuring a well-rounded and sustained approach to the program’s financial backing.
