Veteran community health promoter Lilian Anyango, hummed a gospel song as she trudged a path in the rugged but picturesque Nyakach hills, Kisumu County.

With a bulging red health kit bag slung on her shoulder, Lilian rounded an imposing hill and entered the home of her second client of the day- a middle-aged mother of four who is expecting her fifth baby.

"May I take your temperature reading please," she told the mother as she pulled out a tiny thermometer from her bag nicknamed a mobile hospital. She inserts the thermometer in the client's left armpit.
