Local Hero Spotlight: Dr. Samira Osman
Dr. Samira with young people
Meet GO Local Hero, Dr. Samira, a fearless advocate for youth living with HIV/AIDS in Mombasa, Kenya. As the Assistant Director of Medical Services at Coast Provincial General Hospital and the clinician-in-charge at Family Care Clinic (FCC), she is dedicated to providing exceptional healthcare and psychosocial support to young patients. ❤️
Growing up in a conservative community where women’s voices were often unheard, Dr. Samira defied expectations to become a doctor. Witnessing the struggles of HIV-positive youth and survivors of trauma, she committed herself to comprehensive, compassionate care. Since its founding as a pilot program in 2001, FCC has served over 4,200 patients, transforming lives and changing the course of the HIV epidemic in Mombasa.
Dr. Samira’s impact is profound, and we are honored to support her work! 💪💙
