Nurse finds niche in setting up elderly homecare services

When Hellen Migwi, a practising nurse for 23 years thought of taking up home-based care services for seniors, it was due to the number of patients she encountered with terminal illnesses and no financial capability to pay in hospitals.

“Seeing the growing number of patients who stayed in hospital for a long time not because they need medical attention but for personal care propelled me to introduce a home care service,” she states.
