The Nairobi Hospital held its annual Children’s Charity Heart Fund Golf Tournament at Karen Country Club on Friday, rallying support for children born with congenital heart disease (CHD).

Held under the theme “Giving Little Hearts Big Dreams”, the event brought together golfers, corporate sponsors, and health advocates in a spirited effort to raise funds and awareness for CHD—a condition that affects 1 in every 100 live births.
