Kenya: How a nurse uses the law to ease patients’ suffering

The Open Society Foundations launches new video ‘ How a nurse uses the law to ease patients’ suffering’.

The video explores the story of Mercy Owiti who is a palliative care nurse in Nyeri, Kenya. Mercy is a health care provider who was trained by the Kenya Hospices and Palliative Care Association (KEHPCA) to become a paralegal. 

KEHPCA has worked to ensure that they address the holistic needs of patients which includes the peace of mind and improved health that addressing the legal needs of patients can create.
