Dr. Crispin Ndedda
In the heart of Kenya, I found a purpose that resonates with my passion for innovation and research. My name is Dr. Crispin Ndedda, and I am a proud member of the Global Health Innovation Foundation Kenya (GHI). The organization’s mission to harness technology in addressing prevailing health challenges, particularly among HIV pregnant women, children, adolescents, and women of reproductive age, inspired me to join the team. One of our significant achievements that still fills me with pride is the breakthrough in Early Infant Diagnosis (EID) and tracking the entire cascade of care to ensure completion. This accomplishment not only transformed the lives of our patients but also reshaped my perspective towards healthcare. It made me realize that reaching the unreached is just the beginning; ensuring their retention in the cascade of care is even more crucial. Working with GHI has taught me the importance of collaboration in achieving our mission. Our collective efforts, which combine the organization’s technical and programming expertise, research, and partnerships with institutions of higher learning, have been instrumental in making an impact. We are more than just a team; we are a force united by a common goal – to make a difference in the lives of those we serve. Every day, we strive to innovate, to reach out, and to ensure that no one is left behind in the journey towards better health. And every day, we see the difference we make. This is what inspires me to work with GHI, and this is the impact we’ve made on our patients.
