The slum clinics

I've just spent the morning visiting the Marie Stopes Kenya clinics in Kibera and Kangemi.

The clinics are in the slum areas of the city and provide the same selection of services as in other clinics but at somewhat subsidised rates, in line with the average household income. It was particularly interesting to visit Kibera, which had appeared so much on our television screens last year during the post election violence, yet now is calm and back in a ‘business as usual’ mode.

The Marie Stopes Clinic in Kibera is diminutive but it packs it all in with no space is wasted and the full range of reproductive health services being offered.

I'll be spending the next couple of days with the team here in Nairobi and then heading off out of the city with the outreach team.
