The Center for Public Health and Development (CPHD) was founded with a powerful belief:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Strong health systems save lives.<\/p><\/span><\/blockquote><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u00a0The journey to establish this organization was sparked by a firsthand experience in rural hospitals across Kenya, where the tragic reality, especially pregnant women and their children, dying from a lack of basic medical essentials, such as medical oxygen, was a daily occurrence. These experiences fueled a passion to transform how primary care is delivered in Eastern Africa.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Birth of CPHD <\/div><\/a>

Founded in 2008, CPHD is a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening health systems through innovative, community-driven solutions. The organization was born out of the conviction that no mother should lose her life while giving life, and no child should be denied a future because of where they were born. This vision has guided CPHD\u2019s growth and earned recognition across the region, but its greatest achievement remains the lives saved, and the dignity restored to families through access to quality healthcare.<\/p> <\/div><\/div><\/div>
