  • 200 staff employed by KEMRI, including our technical team, program staff, and coordinators, who play critical roles in program and patient management and sustainable health system development at our supported health facilities.
  • 815 health care providers working at the facility level as direct hires of the Ministry of Health.
  • 250 students and medical residents who have rotated with FACES' STEP Program over the more than 10 years since it began.

FACES is made possible by a talented team who work hard every day on the ground, both in and outside of our health facilities to prevent HIV and to link and retain patients with HIV in care and treatment.
