In Kenya, quality health care is inaccessible for most of the rural population. The Institute of Family Medicine (INFA-MED) seeks to address this by training Family Medicine practitioners to provide primary health care. The Family Medicine practitioners are prepared to play leadership roles while attending to the health care needs of underserved populations.

INFA-MED is committed to advancing family medicine in the developing world by training and mentoring doctors to be clinicians, teachers, leaders and life-long learners who will provide comprehensive health care relevant to the needs of the communities they serve.

CHAK is one of the founding organisations of INFA-MED which began in 1995 at a meeting of representatives of several church hospitals in rural Kenya who had a vision of starting a postgraduate training programme for family medicine practitioners. CHAK is the current chair of the INFA-MED board.  

INFA-MED works in collaboration with Moi University Medical School and three CHAK teaching hospitals, namely, Tenwek, Kijabe and Lugulu, which offer training for Family Medicine practitioners.
