The CWO story
Transforming Lives Through Commitment and Care
The Challenge
Since commencing work in 2018 in Nairobi, Kenya, we have witnessed a stark disparity in musculoskeletal services across the region. While some receive excellent care, many are left behind due to their circumstances. Clinicians often lack the specialty training needed to address these challenges effectively, inadvertently leaving patients vulnerable.
In addition, research that has informed our orthopaedic practise has been based on a demographic different from the East African population and is not always locally applicable.
Away from clinical work, we recognised daily instances requiring healthcare awareness e.g. road safety, need for greater investment in healthcare systems and misconceptions about ability to recover from sports injuries among numerous others.
Our Vision of a Better Future
These experiences fueled our desire to make a difference. Rather than feeling overwhelmed by the scale of the task ahead, we committed ourselves to finding meaningful solutions that could impact lives. True change is possible when we come together with a fixed purpose, and it was upon this background that CWO was formulated.
At CWO, we are driven by a vision of equitable healthcare for all. Our multifaceted approach encompasses four key pillars: Research, Education, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and Advocacy. Together, these arms work harmoniously to elevate standards of care and empower the population with knowledge and resources.
