An NGO whose mission is to educate African specialists to treat African patients, and to provide free medical care for the most vulnerable women and children
We blend compassion with collective action to inspire resilience and revive confidence in the most vulnerable women and girls. Healing begins when voices are heard and resources are offered to all equally.
For 7500 patients seen in our 50 Outreach Camps annually we introduce hope where despair once reigned.
Our GME program helps in health system strengthening through capacity building of medical specialists. We train African doctors to treat African patients, often returning to practice in their hometown. DeckerMed donates its industry leading Weekly Curriculum™ learning platform that offers up to date education in 22 specialties. For five years we have supported 108 residency training programs in 18 Sub Saharan African countries, building capacity of Surgeons, Anesthesiologists and Internists.
DeckerMed Africa Trust supports a program in bidirectional learning between Kenyan and American universities. In this program, senior residents in Surgery, Internal Medicine and other specialties spend four weeks in a host institution observing and comparing practices in an LMIC vs a developed country.
We assess, treat and refer women and girls with vision disorders, conjunctivitis, dry eye, allergic ophthalmitis, glaucoma, retinal disorders, cataracts and more. We treat all our patients gratis. _We partner with EssilorLuxotica who donate thousands of pairs of prescription glasses, and with City Eye Hospital who bring unmatched experience to interocular diseases management.
