During the first half of 2010 we witnessed many blessings at the Mater Hospital.

The Mater Heart Run raised over Kshs. 24 Million for children’s heart surgeries.  A team of cardiac surgeons led by Dr Ramesh Patel were in the hospital for a week in July and successfully performed 21 surgeries. This year, 70 children have had their heart defects repaired at the hospital.

A fully equipped Hospital Cardiac Clinic for both children and adults was opened in June and the new private offices for consulting doctors have been fully subscribed.

The Mater Comprehensive Care Clinic, a VCT/HIV which serves many people from Mukuru slums has reached out to the staff and inmates at Langata Prison. We recently opened a clinic to which offers free VCT, ARVs, Laboratory and Counseling services.

In order to better serve the ever increasing number of patients who seek our services we will continue to make further investments in our staff and facilities.

The rebuilding of two of our four theatres is our next major project.

Additionally we have completed a review of our service gaps and have set specific improvement bench marks with respect to timeliness and quality in service delivery in order to ensure that our clients keep us accountable to our promise that “We care more”

May God bless you all.

Thursday 3rd June 2010 marked an important milestone to The Mater Hospital, the official opening of Doctors’ mini-plaza.

The plaza is located next to the Catherine MacAuley School of Nursing and has a capacity of 27 offices. Hospital services such as Laboratory, Pharmacy, X-ray, Physiotherapy and Theatre are easily accessible and reasonably priced.

Specialist consultants housed in the Plaza include: Obs/Gynae, Orthopaedic & General Surgeons, Paediatricians, Physicians etc.

The presence of specialist consultants within our premises will further enhance the quality of care at The Mater Hospital.
