The Crisis We Address
Kenya's Healthcare Gap Is a Matter of Life and Death
Kenya faces one of the most acute specialist healthcare shortages in sub-Saharan Africa. For millions of Kenyans — particularly the 72% living in rural areas — a diagnosis of cancer, heart disease, or a neurological condition is effectively a death sentence, not because treatment is impossible, but because it is unreachable.
Non-communicable diseases now account for 39% of all annual deaths in Kenya — and cancer alone claims over 33,000 Kenyan lives every year. The cruel irony is that 60–80% of these conditions are treatable with specialist intervention. The barrier is not medicine. It is access.

Our Story
How DSO Kenya Began
DSO Kenya — Doctor's Second Opinion Platform — was founded on a single urgent observation: that Kenyans with complex, life-threatening illnesses were dying not because cures did not exist, but because the care that could save them remained out of reach. In a handful of private hospitals, specialists and advanced technology are available — at costs far beyond what most families can ever raise. Everywhere else, patients face long queues for scarce specialists, or are left to seek treatment abroad alone, with no clear place to begin.
Registered as a Community Based Organization under Kenyan law, DSO Kenya is based in Nyeri with operational reach across all 47 counties. Our core model is built around a strategic partnership with AeroMedicare — a specialised medical value travel company and division of AeroTech India.
