Mayor to recognize Kenya Medical Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On November 1 at Charleston City Hall Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg will honor The Citadel Kenya Medical Program<\/a> for their exemplary work in Kenya last summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associate Professor for Health and Human Performance Sarah Imam, M.D.<\/a>, and Assistant Professor Kimbo Yee<\/a> traveled with 23 cadets and one graduate student to Kenya in June, where they provided medical services to the underprivileged. For three weeks, the group operated medical clinics with free services in the slum areas of Kibera, Mathare and Koyole in Nairobi. They were joined by two students from other institutions and alumni volunteer Chris Hafner, \u201906. The group treated 5,722 patients and distributed more than 85,000 medications, which included supplements and deworming medications for entire families. The Citadel group also referred 147 patients for life-saving or life-altering treatment, which they paid for in full, the first medical camp in the area to do so. Not only is The Citadel\u2019s camp the largest free health care provider in Nairobi, but it is also the only U.S. institution operating independently in Nairobi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
