Experiencia De Cooperación en Turkana (Kenia). Una Mirada Enfermera

Abstract

Speaking of international cooperation on many occasions we generate some associated with concepts far removed from what really is image. What we will capture in this experience it is not intended to alarm or create scenarios manipulated or magnify poverty, lack of resources or human misery .. only pretend to be faithful to reality as far and near at the same time as we tell . Two nurses and a professor at the University of Alicante (Spain) developed in Turkana (Kenya) a draft Community intervention in which public participation is central to its development. The main objective of the intervention is to identify major health needs and how people can respond to them independently and responsibly. The project is initiated by identifying community leaders through whom are involved in the community to begin the process of health education which responds to the health needs of the latter. After almost a year of intervention have been achieved key objectives related to hygiene, nutrition and care during pregnancy and childbirth.
