During this year’s World Health Worker Week, I decided to spend a few days as a community health worker (CHW) in order to appreciate firsthand the experiences, they go through in delivering healthcare to their communities.
On my first day, I visited two homes in Kanzokea, Makueni under the guidance of Pastor Mathias Muthoka, a Community Health Volunteer. During that first visit, I met the mother of a three months old baby with a Cleft lip and cleft palate which was affecting her feeding pattern as breastfeeding was not possible due to the deformity.
