Dharura Global Emergency Care

24/04/2026

This spring has been a season of real collaboration and impact 🌿
Thanks to the incredible efforts of the Nanyuki Teaching and Referral Hospital - NTRH - LHS Nanyuki SIM facilitators, alongside the University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust fellows working with Dharura, we’ve delivered specialist training to a wide range of healthcare professionals across the Laikipia region.

It’s genuinely rewarding to see how positively the teaching has been received — and even more so to witness the tangible difference it’s making for communities in Nanyuki and the surrounding areas.
Moments like these remind us why this work matters.
We’re excited to keep building on this momentum and can’t wait to see what the summer will bring ☀️

Every second counts in healthcare—and that’s where triage makes the difference.
Triage is not just a process, it’s a lifeline. It ensures that the sickest patients are seen first, that care is delivered safely, and that limited resources are used where they’re needed most. Behind every triage decision is a trained professional making critical judgments under pressure to protect lives and improve outcomes.
No matter the size or setting of a hospital, effective triage is essential. It brings order to chaos, supports clinical teams, and ultimately saves lives.

Check out on our You Tube page the story of how Dharura helped starting triage in Nanyuki Teaching and Referral Hospital - NTRH - LHS Nanyuki and of how this has changed the lives of both patients and staff.

🌍 Nyahururu - Nanyuki and Cornwall ❤️

This week marks another important step in the growing partnership between the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust Emergency Department and Nyahururu County Hospital, working together to strengthen emergency care through collaboration, mentorship, and exchange.

🧑🏼‍🤝‍🧑🏾👩🏼‍🤝‍👩🏾This week a group of professionals from Nyahururu - Juliet, Simon and Grace - joined by a team from the Royal Cornwall ED - Caitlin, Faheeem, Lucy, Joy and Anna- travelled to Nanyuki, to meet the Nanyuki SIM team led by Rose and the Dharura fellows Maddie, Livi and Jack currently on their 10 weeks deployment.

One of the most powerful moments was a session on breaking bad news and caring for ourselves as well as our patients, led by Sheila, psychologist from Nanyuki — a reminder that compassion, communication, and wellbeing sit at the heart of emergency care everywhere.

This has been a true two-way exchange.
"We’ve learnt so much from each other and will be taking back lessons on gratefulness, psychological safety, and the use of a SIM contract into our simulation debriefs in the UK."
Our Royal Cornwall team are " incredibly proud of the Nyahururu team, who have made huge progress this week through the mentorship and support of the Nanyuki team."

Global health partnerships like this show what’s possible when teams come together with openness, respect, and a shared purpose. 💙

🌍 Training Highlight | Rural Teaching Day at Lewa Conservancy Clinic 🌍

We had a fantastic day of learning and collaboration with the Dharura Fellows and Nanyuki Sim Team during our rural teaching day at Lewa Conservancy Clinic.

The focus of the session was paediatric shock, with in-depth discussions on:
• Hypovolaemic shock in the malnourished child
• Septic shock

There was a great turnout, strong engagement, and valuable shared learning throughout the day — making it a truly rewarding experience for everyone involved.

A huge thank you to for hosting and supporting this important training. 👏
An excellent day overall, strengthening skills and improving care for our most vulnerable patients.

Dharura leadership and deployment team from University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust recently met with Simon Tooth, British Chargé d’Affaires (Acting Ambassador) at the British Embassy in Monrovia, Liberia 🇱🇷🇬🇧

We discussed the key challenges facing healthcare delivery in Liberia and how Dharura plans to engage its NHS health partnership model to support sustainable improvement.

We are grateful to the British Embassy for their continued support, particularly with security and logistics, as we move forward with our mission.

Hands-On Learning in Action!

Today, some of our NTRH personnel took part in a skills simulation to perfect their chest compression techniques.

Simulation sessions give our teams a safe space to practice, make mistakes, learn, and improve — preparing them for real-life care scenarios with confidence and precision.

A big thank you to our UHBW clinical fellows and the Nanyuki Sim Team for guiding and supporting our staff every step of the way! 👏
