Lwala Community Hospital Initiatives
Centers of Excellence The community of Lwala village donated land and resources to bring health care to their community and constructed the area's first health clinic. Today, the Lwala Community Hospital provides care to more than 60,000 patient visits a year and delivery for over 700 babies. We test innovations at the Lwala hospital which we then use to improve care in hundreds of health facilities across the health system. Examples include Obstetric Hemorrhage bundle with the Non-pneumatic Antishock Garment (NASG) and neonatal resuscitation (Helping Babies Breathe) that is informing emergency obstetric care practices across Kenya. Our goal is to elevate Lwala Community Hospital as a Center of Excellence, a hospital modeling, teaching and advancing dignified, holistic, patient-centered primary health care.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$2.1MMaternal and Child Health Services
Maternal & Child Health: Lwala deploys professionalized community health workers to deliver care in homes. Core to our model is the incorporation of traditional birth attendants into professionalized cadres of community health workers. We pay, train, supervise and digitally empower community health workers to extend health services to every household. We track individualized data that demonstrates high achievements on immunization coverage, skilled delivery rates and under 5 mortality. We use digital tools and data to support health decision making and accelerate training and support of health workers at scale.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.7MHealth Systems Strengthening Initiatives
Health Systems Strengthening Through bottom-up innovation, Lwala incubates and measures new programs that improve health outcomes. As a result, we have been called upon by the national Ministry of Health (MOH) to develop or revise national policies, guidelines, and curricula. As these national documents are finalized, Lwala then works with the MOH to pilot, evaluate, and scale-up these approaches. We use the set policies and guidelines to strengthen the county health system and build its ability to deliver healthcare for all.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.1M
