Grace travels for quality care!

Grace comes from one of the islands in Lake Victoria and heard about the MED25 clinic from another woman in her community. Like other patients who are starting to come to the clinic, Grace had to travel for many hours to receive healthcare. While this discourages others in her community from seeking healthcare, Grace knew how important it was to receive antenatal care for her first pregnancy.

Each kit includes a mosquito net to sleep under, water treatment drops to provide clean water for her entire pregnancy, a laboratory test for ongoing evaluations of maternal health, and medications including malaria prophylaxis, deworming, ferrous sulfate and folic acid. In addition, mothers visit the Med25 clinic each month during their pregnancy to receive maternal education and check ups from clinic professionals.

Grace can travel back to her home and know that she has everything she needs to care for her child throughout her pregnancy. Grace says she is excited to come back every month and continue with her antenatal education and prenatal vitamins. Although it is a long day of travel, Grace knows that all the travel will be worth it when she delivers a healthy child. Thank you!
