One Simple Goal …Saving Lives

Kissito Healthcare International

• Integrity…not profiting from patients.

• Passion…whatever it takes to help our patients.

• Excellence…working together to improve patient outcomes.

• Respect…treating every patient like our family.

Kissito Differences• Sustainable Public Private Partnerships.

• Comprehensive solutions/processes…versus one time events.

• Always seeking a better understanding of community needs/problems. Engaging all stakeholders.

• Long term partnerships versus short-term projects.

• Clinical Skills/Professional Management development of National staff.

• Limited resource solutions.

• Community Based Interventions (fixing the problem not just treating the symptoms).

I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again. 

~William Penn
