About us
Who we are
We are a community of heart patients, survivors, and advocates united by one purpose: to bring hope, support, and better healthcare to individuals and families affected by heart disease in Kenya.
Founded in 2016, the Kenya Mended Hearts Patients Association (KMHPA) is a patient-led nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children and adults living with heart conditions. Born from the shared experiences of heart patients and caregivers, our association provides a supportive community where individuals and families can find encouragement, guidance, and a voice in their healthcare journey.
Through patient advocacy, education, awareness, and community outreach, we work to improve access to affordable, quality cardiac care across Kenya. By connecting patients with resources, collaborating with healthcare professionals, and championing patient rights, we strive to ensure that no one facing heart disease feels alone or is left without hope.
Our approach
Our Mission
To empower and support individuals and families affected by heart disease through advocacy, education, and access to quality, affordable cardiac care.
We are committed to improving the lives of children and adults living with heart conditions by providing emotional support, raising awareness, and connecting patients with essential resources. Through partnerships with healthcare professionals and communities, we work to ensure that every patient has the opportunity to receive the care, guidance, and support they deserve.
Our Vision
A future where no one in Kenya loses their life to a preventable or treatable heart condition, and every heart patient has access to the care they need.
We envision a Kenya where children and adults living with heart disease can lead healthier, more fulfilling lives without barriers to essential healthcare. By strengthening patient advocacy, promoting early diagnosis, and expanding access to treatment, we strive to build a compassionate, informed, and supportive healthcare community where no one faces heart disease alone.
