Circumcision of babies, medically known as early infant medical male circumcision (EIMC), is not traditionally practised in Kenya. However, the government prioritises it in the Second National Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision Strategy 2014-19. It is a local NGO best known for spearheading medical male circumcision in Nyanza, a traditionally non-circumcising region. “Kenya is the leading country in Africa in voluntary medical male circumcision. In VMMC (voluntary medical male circumcision), we targeted people 15 years and above, but now we are going to infants, to sustain the numbers and increase coverage,” he says.
