For Triennial attendees with a background or interest in health care.
Friends Lugulu Mission Hospital (FLMH) is a 100-bed, 100-year-old Quaker hospital about two hours’ drive north of Kisumu. The hospital is owned and operated by Elgon Religious Society of Friends (also known as Lugulu Yearly Meeting) in partnership with Friends United Meeting. It provides essential surgical, obstetric, and medical care in a densely populated and fertile area, serving all patients without regard to religion, ethnicity, or ability to pay. The hospital has won national awards for its HIV/AIDS comprehensive care and treatment program. This four-day visit will include opportunities to learn from hospital staff about providing care in a setting which is spiritually rich but constrained in medical resources, and to learn more about the local neighborhood.
Participants will depart from the Triennial venue in Nakuru after lunch on Saturday, July 8. The trip will end on July 12 with transportation to Nairobi, arriving in the late afternoon. The earliest that you should plan to fly out of Nairobi is on a late-evening flight on July 12.
