TropicalClinics was founded in
2004 by Dr. Margaret Kilibwa as a
response to the lack of vital
medical resources in Kakamega,
Kenya and other rural areas of
developing nations.
At a dinner talk featuring Dr.
Margaret Kilibwa, students were
able to hear how the new
health clinic is efficiently bringing
essential care to Kakamega,
and the challenges that
TropicalClinics faces in these Ana Istrate ‘13 Ha Eun Kong ‘13
projects.

involved in as well as to get to know the speakers in a
semi-intimate setting.
