Dr. B. is a 60-year-old general practitioner who runs his own private facility in Kakamega, in Western Kenya. He is married to two wives and has six children. He was employed by the government for one year then worked at a private hospital for two years before starting his own practice in 1980 in Kisumu, Kenya. He ran his initial facility for seventeen years.
Dr B. gradually focused his efforts on building an ultra-modern facility. With his small savings, plus 500,000 Kenyan Schillings (approximately US $7142) he received from KMET, he eventually shifted his clientele base to a more spacious facility in Kakamega, Kenya two and a half years ago. Since then he has never looked back and is proud of his success.
To cope with a large increase in patients over the last two years, he has taken on an additional 12 staff members. His practice continues to grow as he attracts more corporate clients as well as private patients. He attributes his success to hard work, perseverance, and financial assistance from KMET. He has been able to expand his facility, increase the number of services he offers, and improve the quality of care he provides. To further expand his facility, he requires US $1200.
