MAGIC Africa also had the privilege of handing over the translated CAH flyers to the Paediatric Endocrine Society of Kenya (PESK) team at Kenyatta National Hospital.
I arrived at 8:00 AM, and the clinic was already full—doctors moving quickly from one patient to the next, families waiting, and the entire space busy with care. Despite the heavy morning workload, the team still gave us a moment of their time, and I am truly grateful.
Dr. Prisca Amolo, a Paediatric Endocrinologist at Kenyatta National Hospital, worked closely with us in translating both the CAH flyer and the CAH Book for Girls from English to Kiswahili—ensuring families can understand their condition in a language that feels natural and accessible.
Dr. Anjum Omar, a respected Paediatric Endocrinologist and paediatrician, continues to champion early diagnosis and specialised care for children with hormonal disorders.
We also met Catherine Nailaen, a dedicated nurse and diabetes educator who provides practical, compassionate support to families navigating chronic conditions.
Families can find these amazing professionals at Kenyatta National Hospital, Children’s Area:
• Room 23 – Endocrine patients
• Room 22 – General paediatric patients
Paediatric endocrinologists play a crucial role in newborn and neonatal care. They guide early diagnosis of hormonal disorders, support families through treatment decisions, provide emergency plans for conditions like CAH, and ensure newborns receive the best start in life through timely, specialised care.
