HACEP Kenya Visit to St. Camillus Hospital
On April 10, 2026, the HACEP Kenya team visited St. Camillus Hospital to deliver essential medical equipment and provide comprehensive training on the HACEP Kenya Data Management System. This initiative aims to improve data management and reporting capabilities within the healthcare facility.
The visit also focused on newborn screening for Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), equipping healthcare staff with the necessary skills for early detection and care. Through hands-on training sessions, medical professionals learned to identify early warning signs of SCD and implement effective screening protocols.
"Early detection through newborn screening is crucial for improving outcomes in sickle cell disease. By equipping healthcare providers with the right tools and knowledge, we're building a stronger healthcare system that can serve our communities better."
This collaborative effort between HACEP Kenya and St. Camillus Hospital is expected to enhance early diagnosis and intervention for SCD, ultimately reducing related morbidity and mortality while strengthening overall healthcare delivery in the region.
Key outcomes of the visit
The hospital staff received training on:
- HACEP Kenya Data Management System implementation
- Newborn SCD screening protocols
- Early detection and intervention strategies

HACEP Kenya will continue to support St. Camillus Hospital through ongoing mentorship and technical assistance to ensure sustainable implementation of these new capabilities.
