Brief History of Homeopathy in Kenya
Homeopathy was first introduced to Kenya around 1928 by the late Dr. A. Bhatti, an immigrant from Lahore. Since then until around the 1998, homeopathy was confined to a few Indian-Pakistani trained and British or European-trained Kenyans and expatriots. During those years, Dr. Bhatti and his son, plus a number of others would time to time extend their services beyond their own practices, to charity clinics for the poor or at villages. The extent of impact of homeopathy in Kenya was mainly limited to the educated Asian and European communities.
From 1998 onwards there was a fresh burst of activity and interest to bring homeopathy to Kenya. This was through the work of various local and international individuals and organizations to bring homeopathy to the people of Kenya at large.
