Telemedicine/Daktari smart

Gertrude’s Hospital Foundation, Kenya, in partnership with M-PESA Foundation, Safaricom PLC, Gertrude’s Children’s Hospital and the County Governments of Samburu, Baringo, Lamu and Homabay, launched the Daktari Smart telemedicine program on Wednesday 17th November 2021. Gertrude’s Hospital Foundation, with support from the M-PESA Foundation, is working with the above partners to improve access to quality specialist care to children in these counties in Kenya by leveraging the use of technology.

The Daktari Smart program will help reduce the number of referrals of sick children and optimize the capacity and reach of healthcare delivery systems by allowing level IV and V hospitals have access to specialists.
During the first phase, the project will provide free specialist care and treatment to 32,400 children located in Samburu, Baringo, Lamu and Homabay counties and their environs via telemedicine.
In addition, the telemedicine platform will be used to improve capacity of 300 health workers to correctly diagnose and treat sick children, as well as correctly link children who require advanced care.
A total of KES 200 million will be spend in the next 3 years of the initiative.
