When a doctor leaves the good life to serve rural poor

As we usher in 2015, I derive great inspiration from Dr Walumoli Wanjofu, a specialist obstetrician gynaecologist with an enviable CV who has finally left city life to set up shop in his rural county.

Despite having a lucrative practice with a sizeable clientele from the Kilimani mamas, he believes now it’s time to go back to his roots. Gone too will be the numerous consultancies, part-time teaching job at the university and access to a large national referral hospital.
