Who We Are

Doctors for Healthy Living (D4HL) is a Not-For-Profit Social Enterprise that is committed to fostering a healthier Kenya through its Know Your Numbers (KYN) campaign, which is designed to empower individuals to take charge of their health.

The KYN campaign highlights five critical health metrics - blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, waist circumference, and BMI. By understanding and managing these numbers, individuals can significantly reduce their risk of chronic diseases and lead healthier lives.

At D4HL, we believe that prevention and awareness are key to lasting health outcomes. Through collaborations with healthcare professionals, organizations, and communities, D4HL brings knowledge and resources to help Kenyans make informed health choices.

In June 2018, D4HL launched a health awareness campaign referred to as Know Your Numbers (KYN). KYN was a free medical camp during which members of the public had vital numbers relating to blood pressure, blood glucose, blood cholesterol, waist circumference and body mass index measured. Specialist doctors volunteered their time to be on ground to provide advice to those who will be found to require further follow up.

Cholesterol levels, blood pressure, blood sugar, and body mass index are key indicators of our risk for major illness. Knowing these numbers is important because keeping your numbers within a healthy range can greatly reduce your risk for developing heart disease, diabetes or other non-communicable diseases.

In March 2020, a global pandemic COVID-19 is detected in Kenya. To address this situation, a group of senior doctors, who are thought leaders in their fields, have offered to partner with the government in helping people to understand and take appropriate measures to break the spread of COVID 19. Through an initiative known as Break the Chain, the specialists are available to respond to questions and concerns about COVID 19 on social and mainstream media and to explain the medical reasons behind the protocols that have been recommended by the Ministry of Health.
