Serving the community, empowering people to take control of their own health - have your say, we can only make the change if we are all talking about it!
MKI (Medical Knowledge Institute), an international non-profit organization, strongly believes that healthcare is a human right and through our health educational programs we are motivated to empower communities to take control of their own health. Public health experts, from around the world, educate MKI Health Teachers in relevant health materials that they then deliver, using the “Prevention through Education” motto, to their community at large.

The first initial screening of 250 children began on 8th April. Here are some photos from the training day and initial screening.
