If your daughter misses school every month because of pain, do not ignore it.

Severe period pain in adolescence can be an early sign of underlying conditions like endometriosis. Early diagnosis prevents years of damage.

At The Hem Practice, we believe early education and intervention change long-term outcomes.

Let’s raise girls who are heard, not hushed.

In the quiet moments of reflection and the joy of togetherness, may this season fill your heart with peace and your life with good health. Eid Mubarak from all of us at The Hem Practice.

From Verona, Italy, and back with deeper skill, sharper insight, and a stronger approach to pelvic pain care.

Through The Hem Practice, six clinicians, including our very own Dr. Dennis Mureithi, have successfully completed the International Advanced Master in Gynaecological Ultrasound – Focus on Endometriosis at the ISSA School, culminating in an intensive practical week in Verona.

Featuring: Dr. Julie Oluoch, Dr. Grace Wanjiku, Dr. Saudiyya Mohamed, Dr. Lillian Kemuma, and Dr. Gideon Kariuki.

This programme was not just a one-week experience.

It was the culmination of a full year of structured online learning, followed by hands-on clinical exposure, observing second-level ultrasound, learning standardized mapping of endometriosis, and understanding how imaging directly informs surgical decisions.

During the practical, participants were embedded in a high-volume European centre, moving between ultrasound clinics and theatre, connecting diagnosis to intervention in real time.

This is part of our broader effort to expand access to specialised skills, so clinicians in our network have the expertise to improve diagnosis, reduce delays in care, and deliver better outcomes for women.

Because better care begins with better diagnosis.

For years, women have been praised for enduring pain.
Handling cramps.Handling heavy bleeding. Handling discomfort during intimacy.
But strength isn’t silent suffering.It’s seeking answers.
The Hem Practice exists for women who are tired of coping and ready for clarity.

You've been told: "It's just cramps." "Every woman goes through it." "You're overreacting."
But pain that stops your day, strains your relationships, and fills you with dread every month is not normal. It's a signal worth investigating.
At The Hem Practice, we specialise in diagnosing and treating pelvic pain conditions, including endometriosis, fibroids, and adenomyosis, using minimally invasive techniques built for faster recovery and better outcomes.
Your pain deserves a real answer. We'll help you find it. Call us on 0792477263 to book an appointment.

We are proud to be part of a historic surgical milestone in Thika.

The first successful TEP Hernia Repair in Thika Town has now been performed, expanding access to advanced, minimally invasive surgery for patients in the region.

Congratulations to Dr. Njatha Wanjiku, Dr. Powell Kanina, and Dr. Winfred Kimani, and to our partners, Mary Help of the Sick Mission Hospital- Thika, for making this possible.

Moments like this remind us why we do what we do: to expand access to modern surgical care and improve patient outcomes.

Happy Women's Day.

Today, we celebrate the women of The Hem Practice, who show up every day to change how women's pain is heard, understood, and treated.

When women give their expertise and care to solving women's health challenges, more women gain answers, relief, and dignity.

To every woman out there, your pain is valid. Your health matters. You deserve to be heard.

Happy Women's Day from all of us.

As we approach Women's Day, meet Faith Wanjeri, CEO of The Hem Practice, and the woman who turned her pain into purpose.

For Faith, this mission has always been personal. Too many women are living with pelvic pain that is dismissed, misunderstood, or simply normalised, and she refused to let that continue. Watch her tell it in her own words.

This is what means to us: giving our expertise and time to a problem that has affected women for generations, so more women gain answers, relief, and the chance to live without pain.

If you are experiencing persistent pelvic pain or related symptoms, you don't have to endure it in silence. Call us on 0792477263 to book an appointment.

Read about how Citizen Digital spotlighted innovation from The Hem Practice.

Our very own Dr. Dennis Mureithi led the development of the Endo Bora Pelvic Trainer, a Kenyan-made simulation tool refined over three years to strengthen laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery skills for women’s health. This locally developed trainer makes it possible for doctors to build competence through consistent practice, bridging the surgical access gap in Kenya.

For us, this is bigger than a device. It reflects our mission: to make minimally invasive surgery the norm, not the exception.

Kenya continues to face a significant gap in access to safe and timely surgical care, particularly in women’s health, with maternal mortality estimated at 355 deaths per 100,000 live births, according to the 2022 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey.

At Sankalp Africa 2026, through the African Women Innovating in Healthcare (AWIIH) programme by Villgro Africa, our CEO Faith Wanjeri had the opportunity to spotlight a critical gap in African healthcare.

Chronic pelvic pain is not just discomfort. It often signals underlying gynaecological conditions that may require surgical intervention.

Globally, the standard for such intervention is minimally invasive surgery. In developed countries, up to 94% of these procedures are performed laparoscopically. In sub-Saharan Africa, that number stands at just 0.9%.

That disparity represents more than statistics, it reflects access, training, and systemic inequity.

The Hem Practice was built to address this gap through an end-to-end model: delivering minimally invasive treatment while actively training surgeons to expand regional capacity.

Because improving outcomes for women requires more than awareness. It requires infrastructure.

That disparity represents more than statistics; it reflects access, training, and systemic inequity.

Six women walked into theatre carrying years of pain from fibroids and endometriosis.

At our surgical camp in partnership with Mary Help of the Sick Mission Hospital-Thika , they received hysterectomies performed laparoscopically, at no cost.

Most had been preparing for open surgery: a large incision, significant post-operative pain, longer hospital stays, and weeks away from work and family. Instead, they had minimally invasive procedures, smaller incisions, less blood loss, reduced pain, and faster recovery.

For them, this was not just a medical intervention.
It was relief. It was reassurance. It was the beginning of living without constant pain.

When we started the Stitch & Knot: Hybrid Laparoscopic Suturing Programme, our vision was clear: to build confident, OR-ready surgeons and make minimally invasive surgery the norm, not the exception.

We're proud to celebrate 11 doctors from Cohort 2 who have completed 8 weeks of discipline, daily 30-minute practice, mentorship, and hands-on surgical exposure.
They strengthened essential laparoscopic skills, from camera control and safe needle handling to precise suturing and secure knot-tying, progressing from simulation to supervised live surgery.

This graduation represents safer surgery and expanded access to quality minimally invasive care across Kenya and beyond.

Congratulations, Cohort 2. 🎓

Thank you to our Advisory Board and partners: Villgro Africa, Dr.Nicole Donnellan & Dr. Jennifer Makin (UPMC), Medtronic , Avenue Hospital, plainsviewhospital, and Mary Help of the Sick Mission Hospital- Thika , for believing in this vision.

We look forward to equipping many more surgeons.
