Challenge
In Nairobi, Kenya, many low-income individuals have little to no access to proper and affordable medical care in heavily populated urban and peri-urban Nairobi, Kenya. Typically, medical care is sought at government clinics, private “mom and pop” clinics, or low-quality chemists/pharmacies that often exploit patients and provide them with ineffective, high-cost care that does not adequately treat their chief complaints.
Description
