The Well Woman clinic is a project of KMWA that was conceptualized in 1990 in collaboration with the Family Planning Association of Kenya –FPAK. The main aim was to address the Women’s health issues, majority of whom appear well and yet bear the burden of hidden disease.
The major focus is on Reproductive Tract Infection (RTIs) and Cervical cancer, conditions often neglected in the field of research, control and prevention. The main activities of WWC include:-
- Pap smear-cytological evaluation and quality control.
- Colposcopy evaluation of cervical intra Epithelial Neoplasie (CIN).
With time, we have managed to identify other Reproductive health needs and felt it was better to provide more services in a single setting in order to save on time, convenience and compliance to treatment provided to the women.
Today our clinic provides the following services.
- Cervical screening and vaccination against HPV.
- Breast Screening (for breast cancer).
- Infection Testing –Involves full screening for sexually transmissible infections and include, blood swabs and any necessary referrals, prescriptions or follow up.
