Improving early detection, treatment and care with Point-of-Care Ultrasound

Last week, the Kenyatta National Hospital in Kenya and the Muhimbili National Hospital in Tanzania received Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) equipment from the Kenya Haemophilia Association and the Haemophilia Society of Tanzania as part of the project ‘Expanding Access to Blood Disorders Care in East Africa’. The handover was followed by a week-long training session for 11 physiotherapists in Kenya and 5 in Tanzania. The POCUS equipment will aid in the early detection, treatment and care of people with haemophilia.
