A Quarter of Growth: April-June 2026 at the Clinic
April to June 2026 was one of continued growth for the CFF Rotary Medical Clinic. The clinic served 437 patients while expanding maternal health services, launching childhood immunizations, and opening the community water filtration system. These milestones reflect not only new services, but growing trust from families who are increasingly choosing to seek care close to home.
Milestones This Quarter:
437 patients served, including 80 children (a 36% increase from last quarter!)
Routine childhood immunizations launched — 19 children vaccinated in the first month
Three safe deliveries
24/7 emergency services fully operational
Community water filtration system opened
112 community members accessed 1,374 liters of clean water in June–July
Stories From the Clinic
Each milestone reflects growing trust built through consistent, compassionate care. As patient volumes have grown, so has the variety and complexity of cases seen by clinic staff.
This quarter included emergency care for a young child with severe malaria who arrived with a high fever, seizures, and difficulty breathing. After receiving oxygen, medications, and supportive care, the child stabilized before continuing treatment.
On another afternoon, community members carried an unconscious patient to the clinic after a diabetic emergency. Following treatment with insulin and intravenous fluids, the patient regained consciousness and was transferred to Magadi Hospital in stable condition.
The clinic also continued to provide emergency stabilization for patients requiring referral. One patient with suspected appendicitis was assessed and stabilized while transportation was arranged to Magadi Hospital, highlighting the continued need for reliable emergency transport in this rural region.
Maternal health services remain an important part of the clinic's work. One memorable delivery occurred at 3:00 a.m. when staff returned to the clinic to care for a 16-year-old mother in labor. After several hours of care, she safely delivered a healthy baby girl. Cases like this have become increasingly common as more women choose to deliver at the clinic rather than travel long distances while in labor.
The clinic's new Ministry of Health certification as a vaccination site has also changed the experience of many young families. Weekly immunization clinics began in June, allowing mothers to receive routine childhood vaccines locally rather than making the journey to Magadi. Staff have received encouraging feedback from families who appreciate having these services available within their own community.
Another milestone this quarter was the opening of the community water filtration system. Earlier in the quarter, clinic staff treated many cases of gastroenteritis and diarrheal illness associated with untreated water sources. In June, the water station officially opened to the public, and during its first two months of operation, 197 community members collected clean drinking water. Clinic staff are hopeful that access to safe water will help reduce preventable waterborne illnesses over time.
One interaction illustrated how closely healthcare and clean water are connected. After treating an infant with diarrhea, staff counseled the child's mother about safe drinking water and hydration before sending her home with five liters of clean water for her family—a journey that would take her nearly 18 kilometers on foot.
As the clinic continues to grow, it is becoming more than a place to receive medical treatment. Families now come for emergency care, maternity services, childhood vaccinations, health education, and access to clean water. Each new service builds on the last, strengthening the clinic's role as a trusted resource for the surrounding community.
