Program by program
Every medical outreach follows a fully integrated approach: nutritional screenings, blood pressure monitoring, medical personnel to diagnose and prescribe medication or give referrals, basic medicines for treatment, and a station for health-related education.
The number one way to implement preventive care. When communities receive education on sexual reproductive health, menstrual health, women's health, hypertension and nutrition, they know more about their bodies and their health.
Screening identifies those unaware of non-communicable diseases they have, and those already diagnosed but not receiving treatment. The program covers hypertension, and in future will extend further into diabetes and cancer screening.
By training hospital staff on leadership, customer service, conflict management, communication and personalities in the workplace, EK increases the quality of care provided by local professionals.
A growing problem in Kenya that for many years has been a topic unwilling to be discussed. By growing awareness, more community members can seek treatment before it becomes unmanageable.
Studies have shown that up to 65% of women and girls in Kenya cannot afford sanitary pads (Afri-Can, 2015). EK provides pads and assists in making them more available for girls and women in need.
Vaccines help prevent serious illnesses such as HPV or COVID-19, and prevent life-altering diseases such as measles or polio. Entepesi Kenya ensures childhood immunizations are available at every medical outreach.
Monthly food support packages and nutritional guidance are vital to keeping families healthy.
Without knowledge of how to plan for children or prevent pregnancy, families can find themselves with more children than they can financially provide for. Family planning services are offered at every outreach.

Every gift becomes a screening, a treatment, a pack of pads, or a term of school fees for a future nurse.
