Implementing a Locally Made Low-Cost Intervention for Wound and Lymphedema Care in Western Kenya. Dermatol Clin. 2021;39(1):91-100. doi:10.1016/j.det.2020.08.009https://hdl.handle.net/1805/32535In Western Kenya, the burden of chronic wounds and lymphedema has a significant impact on functionality and quality of life. Major barriers to provision of care include availability, affordability, and accessibility of bandages. At the Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare, dermatologists and pharmacists collaborated to develop a 2-component compression bandage modeled after the Unna boot, using locally available materials, that is distributed through a revolving fund pharmacy network. In partnership with nursing, use of these bandages at a national referral hospital and a few county facilities has increased, but increasing utilization to an expanded catchment area is needed.en-USPublisher PolicyAfricaKenyaWound careLymphedemaBullous drug reactionResource-limited settingLow- and middle-income countriesRevolving fund pharmacyArticle
