Restoring Mobility and Hope: Baraka Health Net Welcomes Dr. Raphael for Specialized Burn and Scar Care

April 18 - April 25

Nairobi, Kenya — Baraka Health Net is proud to announce a week-long specialized medical camp dedicated to the treatment of complex scars, keloids, and burn wounds. From 4th to 11th April 2026, Dr. Raphael and his expert team will be stationed at the Baraka Health Centre in Mathare to provide life-altering care to patients in need.

Beyond the Surface: Addressing Contractures

For many survivors of severe burns or deep injuries, the healing process often brings a new challenge: contractures. This occurs when scar tissue tightens, restricting movement in fingers, hands, arms, or legs.

This upcoming clinic isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about functionality. By utilizing advanced medication and specialized compression garments, Dr. Raphael’s team focuses on loosening restrictive tissue to help patients regain their independence and range of motion.

Why This Matters

Severe scarring can often lead to social isolation and physical disability. By bringing this level of specialized care directly to Mathare, Baraka Health Net aims to bridge the gap in access to reconstructive therapy.

“Our mission has always been to provide high-quality healthcare where it is needed most. Hosting Dr. Raphael allows us to offer specialized solutions for burn survivors that can truly change the trajectory of their lives.”
