Strath MBA Director Vincent Ogutu reassuring local residents

humanitarian crisis in Kenya. SBS has established a medical clinic in Nairobi’s Eastlands district. Over 700 patients have been attended by 10 doctors, several pharmacists, and other volunteers from Strathmore’s MBA class and the Aga Khan University Hospital.

The local Eastlands police station became a sanctuary for residents fleeing post-election violence. But the need extended far beyond. “We came expecting to attend only to those at the police post,” said George Njenga, SBS Dean, “but we ended up caring for people from the entire community.”

Patients suffering from varied ailments, from simple coughs to infections, were  treated. The clinic also had a minor surgery unit for treating wounds.  Two of the SBS MBA volunteers were also doctors who also volunteered at the clinic with Aga Khan Hospital personnel.
