In a bid to reduce maternal and infant mortality in Western Kenya, the Midwives Association of Kenya (MAK), in partnership with the Busia County Government, has launched a new branch in Busia under the Every Woman Every Newborn Everywhere (EWENE) initiative.
The branch, hosted at Alupe University, was unveiled alongside the rollout of the EWENE Initiative, a targeted campaign aimed at eliminating preventable maternal and newborn deaths through grassroots health empowerment and strategic clinical partnerships.
The launch was held under the theme: "A Global Call for One Million More Midwives in the Healthcare System."
Speaking during the event, MAK National Secretary Dr Sally Oronje described the initiative as more than an administrative milestone, saying it represents a critical intervention for a healthcare system facing significant workforce challenges.
