One of AMPATH Kenya’s founders, Charles R. Kelley, MD, passed away today after a long illness. Charlie was one of the four Indiana University School of Medicine faculty members who travelled to Kenya, Ghana and Nepal in 1988 in search of an academic health center partner. The partnership that was formed more than 35 years ago is now known around the world as AMPATH. It has provided care for hundreds of thousands of Kenyans and brought lessons learned through bidirectional educational exchanges and collaborative research back to Indiana and other resource-limited communities around the world. Charlie is remembered by his AMPATH co-founders, friends and colleagues as a humble servant leader with a deep faith that led him and his wife Loraine to careers in medicine and global service. We send our heartfelt condolences to Loraine, his daughters and all those that knew and loved him. Learn more about Charlie: https://lnkd.in/gJdKJckb
