The CCC/KMET partnership is off to a great start with 110 patients attending our first screening day and four patients treated with cryotherapy. We divided the 22 trainees into groups of three and four and paired them with a Kenyan Facilitator. Each of these Facilitators are crucial in teaching the trainees “See & Treat” as they bring years of experience in VIA and cryotherapy . With six “See & Treat” stations active we were able to see patients quickly and efficiently. All of the trainees were extremely excited to get first hand practice examining patients with our “See & Treat” method, and we can’t wait to see how they progress throughout the week.
