Major boost for patient care as KDIC commissions medical equipment at the Spinal Injury

Patient care at the Spinal Injury Hospital got a major boost, after the Kenya Deposit Insurance Corporation donated an assortment of state-of-the-art medical equipment in support of the facility’s operations.

The equipment donated courtesy of the KDIC CSR program, included patient monitors and orthopedic beds.

Speaking at the Spinal Injury Hospital during the commissioning of the KDIC-funded medical equipment, Chief Administrative Secretary for Health Dr. Rashid Aman, commended the Corporation for the gesture saying “the equipment will go a long way in improving the spinal care and reducing the hospital stay for patients here.”

Dr. Aman added that such contribution had complemented the government’s effort of ensuring there was accessible and affordable healthcare for all. “Indeed it is through such deliberate and collaborative partnerships among public institutions and even private, that we have been able to record great milestones under the pillar of Universal Health Coverage adopted by the Government,” he observed.

While affirming KDIC’s commitment in supporting the Government’s agenda towards  U.H.C, Corporation   Chief Executive Officer Mr. Mohamud Mohamud, said that KDIC had deliberately chosen to invest in CSR projects within the health spaces as part of its contribution towards the physical, mental and financial wellbeing of depositors in the country. “The prosperity of our people, directly ties to the strategic goals of KDIC and this ripple effect, is what we are hoping to catalyze as we sponsor both maternal and universal healthcare. The economic productivity of the Kenyan people directly and indirectly, down the pipeline becomes a deposit that contributes to our insurance scheme,” said Mr. Mohamud.
