Dr. Lincoln Khasakhala is currently registered for a PhD in Clinical Psychology at the College of Health Sciences of the University of Nairobi. His personal philosophy is to provide care, training and clarity for medical care givers and patients/clients with non communicable chronic conditions. This is a structure to empower patients and carers in understanding the definition of condition(s), their cause(s), and their treatment protocols. In the process, any complication resulting from the primary condition (as the disease progress) is highlighted, aiming at prevention of the occurrence of the complication, other than offering treatment after occurrence. Dr. Khasakhala has designed the approach according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) definition of health in terms of physical, psychological, socio-cultural and spiritual well-being. For acute cases, he aims to provide immediate management as per standards of care.
