Janet Atieno makes her way to a small clinic in Kiambiu slum near Eastleigh.

She is responding to a text message on her cellphone that reminded her of her next appointment. Ms Atieno, 31, had visited the clinic three months earlier for a health checkup that required medication and subsequent review.
