Most of these are preventable โ but in many cases, no one ever stops to ask why it happened. In Kenya, where healthcare systems are already overstretched, ignoring root causes means errors repeat, resources are wasted, and lives are lost. Thatโs why Lwala Community Alliance Hospital, Migori is taking a bold step forward.
Today,30th July 2025, we kicked off a hands-on Root Cause Analysis & CAPA Training for the laboratory team โ a crucial move in shifting from assumption-based reactions to evidence-driven improvement. From equipment issues to quality control failures, RCA empowers healthcare workers to ask the right questions, trace issues to their source, and implement changes that stick.
On Day 1, our participants began unpacking:
๐น The real role of RCA in saving lives
๐น How to identify and document nonconformities
๐น Common errors and why they repeat
๐น Tools like the 5 Whys and Fishbone Diagram
๐น Building a โno-blameโ culture that learns and improves
Because at Lwala, ๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ข๐ฌ๐งโ๐ญ ๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ โ ๐ข๐ญโ๐ฌ ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ. And Root Cause Analysis isnโt just for labs. Itโs for nurses, doctors, records teams, and anyone who touches patient care. Weโre proud to support this journey of asking why, learning how, and doing better โ one root cause at a time.
