A race against time!
What should have been a 2 day journey took just 1 hour and 40 minutes
Baby Alisha Lemongi and her mother, Nairita Lemongi, needed to get from Sedar which is in the Northern part of Kenya to Nairobi urgently. MAF was able to fly them so that the baby could get help at Kijabe Hospital.
Doctors ran a full investigation, from urinalysis, blood tests and a chest X-ray and discovered that Alisha had been receiving the wrong medication.
Alisha is now on the correct treatment and an infection found during testing is also being managed. She is scheduled for a follow up flight back to Kijabe on the 11th of November.
“Thanks so much for helping her get down to Nairobi, it may have saved her life as we didn’t have another trip to Kijabe scheduled,” said Mick Alley, the founder of Samburu Missions Kenya.
This is what MAF does, connecting communities to the care they can’t reach when every minute counts.
