Dr Githinji Gitahi: I got intrigued, watching my brother studying dead dogs

 Dr Githinji Gitahi, the first African Global CEO of AMREF. [David Gichuru, Standard]

When he was born in Nyeri County over 50 years ago, his mother lacked Sh40 to be released from hospital or buy clothes to swaddle her son.

His sister, then studying home science, saved the day by bringing a tiny sweater from knitting classes and which had to be torn by the side to fit the son.

Little did the family know he would grow to become Dr Githinji Gitahi, the first African Global CEO of AMREF, a position he employs to help implement policies to improve healthcare, not just in Kenya, but globally.
