Garissa County has taken a significant step toward inclusive healthcare following the launch of the assistALL mobile application, an innovation by Signs Media Kenya, designed to provide on-demand sign language interpretation services across health facilities.
The initiative, implemented in partnership with the Garissa County Government, aims to bridge long-standing communication gaps between healthcare providers and deaf patients, that have often led to misdiagnosis, poor adherence to prescriptions, and missed follow-up visits.
