Mkomani Clinic Society

Mkomani Clinic Society, doing business as Bomu Medical Centre, is a Kenya-based faith-based organization and nonprofit hospital that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient and sub-recipient from U.S. health agencies, with no federal contract prime awards. A minority-owned entity established forty years ago to serve the low-income Mkomani community in Mombasa's Nyali periphery, Bomu operates across Mombasa, Kilifi, and Kwale counties and delivers HIV prevention, treatment, and care services under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) framework.

Bomu's federal funding concentrates entirely within the Department of Health and Human Services. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Center for Global Health and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development together account for all six awards in the source data, covering 100% of activity. As a prime recipient, Bomu holds a cooperative-agreement grant from CDC's Center for Global Health awarded September 30, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of September 29, 2027, to advance comprehensive HIV prevention and treatment programs in faith-based and private sites across Nairobi, Coast, and Western regions of Kenya, targeting gaps in antiretroviral therapy coverage and serving adolescents, young people, key populations including drug users, and pregnant mothers. The grant vehicle and dollar magnitude are not specified in the source. As a sub-recipient, Bomu has engaged with the Trustees of Indiana University on two federal research sub-awards (one January 28, 2025, one December 16, 2025) involving participant enrollment, clinical laboratory testing, PBMC and plasma cryopreservation, ELISA assays, data entry and analysis, and manuscript collaboration — funded through NICHD.

Activity is sparse and episodic: two awards in 2010, one in 2016, one in 2022, and two in 2025. One award faces completion inside the next twenty-four months. Bomu's federal footprint is narrow, regional, and focused on PEPFAR implementation in East Africa rather than domestic service delivery, positioning it as a direct-service partner for U.S. global health programming rather than a federal contractor.
