May is Pelvic Pain Awareness Month, and we’re saying what too many people have never been told: Your pain is not "just cramps." It is not in your head. And you don't have to keep living with it. 1 in 7 women experiences chronic pelvic pain. Yet diagnosis can take years, and dismissal from healthcare providers is far too common. At The Hem Practice, we believe everyone deserves to be heard, properly assessed, and guided toward relief, not told to simply "push through it." We are breaking the silence.
If you've been struggling with pain during your period, s*x, exercise, or even just sitting, there's a reason behind it. And there are answers. If this sounds like your story, your next step starts by booking a consultation with us. Call us on 0792 477 263.

She was told she just had to live with the pain. She didn’t.

On May 22nd & 23rd, 7 women received free laparoscopic hysterectomies at our surgical camp in partnership with Mary Help of the Sick Mission Hospital-Thika

For many of these women, the fibroids had continued to grow despite years of discomfort, heavy bleeding, and disruption to their daily lives, making surgery the best path toward relief and recovery.

Laparoscopic surgery means a smaller incision, less blood loss, less pain after surgery, and a much faster recovery. No long hospital stays. No weeks away from your family. Just focused, minimally invasive care designed around your healing.

Chronic pelvic pain is not something you should have to normalize. If you have been experiencing persistent pain, heavy periods, or have been diagnosed with fibroids or endometriosis, please reach out to us.

You deserve care. You deserve relief. You deserve to live fully.

Our Co-founder and CEO, Faith Wanjeri, is taking the stage.

This week, Faith joins a powerful lineup of women shaping the future of health innovation across Africa as a panelist at the World Health Summit Regional Meeting 2026 in Nairobi, hosted at the United Nations Office.

She'll be speaking in the session "Designing Power: Women Leading Africa's Health R&D Systems", digging into the real conversations: how women innovators navigate funding gaps, regulatory barriers, and the long road to market access. And how the systems around them need to do better.

Women leading Africa's health future is not a vision; that's what's happening right now.

Today was a big day for Cohort 3 of the Stitch & Knot Hybrid Laparoscopic Suturing Programme. After 2 weeks of dedicated Home-Based Self-Regulated Training (HSRT), our doctors brought that muscle memory to be refined.

The shift from practicing independently at home to today’s guided sessions is where the real breakthroughs happen. With expert feedback and hands-on guidance, those hours of HSRT practice were transformed into precise needle handling and fluid suturing techniques. The doctors also had a session on Maternal Screening by Metropolis Star Lab Kenya, and Anesthesia for MIS by Dr. Esther Kamau

From the insights shared in Dr. Dennis Mureithi ’s lectures to the focused energy at the trainer stations, the progress we saw today was incredible. Every refined movement today is a step closer to making MIS the standard of care, ensuring our patients benefit from faster recoveries and safer surgical outcomes. We can’t wait to see this momentum carry into Workshop 3.

Cohort 3 of the Stitch & Knot: Hybrid Laparoscopic Suturing Programme officially kicked off today, and we couldn't be prouder to welcome another group of exceptional surgeons through our doors. This cohort arrived from across the country: Malindi, Nyeri, Kisii, Wajir, Mandera, Samburu, and Nairobi. Corners of Kenya that remind us exactly who this programme was built for, and why it matters that surgical excellence reaches beyond the capital.

Here's the reality we work against every day: across sub-Saharan Africa, only 0.9% of all surgeries are performed laparoscopically, despite the well-documented benefits of faster recovery, less pain, and better outcomes for patients. The barriers? A lack of equipment, too few trained hands, and a steep learning curve that has kept minimally invasive surgery out of reach for too many.

We built Stitch& Knot under our SurgiEdge Training arm to change that, one surgeon at a time. Over the next 2 months, this cohort of dedicated Ob/Gyns, General Surgeons, and registrars will move from simulation to the operating room, building the precision, muscle memory, and confidence to make laparoscopic suturing second nature. They'll work with our locally developed Endo Bora Pelvic Trainer, access global learning from SAGES and AAGL, and train at a 1:2 trainer-to-trainee ratio that ensures no one is left behind.

To every doctor in Cohort 3, we see your commitment. You chose to show up, to learn, and to grow. That decision will ripple outward to every patient you will ever operate on. Welcome to the family. Let's Make MIS the Norm and Not the Exception.

This Easter, we celebrate the victory of life over death, hope over despair, and healing through Christ.

At The Hem Practice, our purpose is rooted in this truth: that through Him, restoration and forgiveness is possible in every way.

May your heart be filled with joy, your faith renewed, and your spirit strengthened this Easter season.

He has risen indeed.
