First Lady Margaret Kenyatta is expected to receive a consignment of medical supplies worth Sh45 million for the Beyond Zero Campaign on Tuesday.
The consignment is meant for Chemolingot Hospital in East Pokot, Baringo County.
The equipment include incubators, catheters for various purposes, different types of syringes, blood drawing supplies, feminine supplies, general surgery packs and different types of medical transformers
Birthing and electrical beds, computers, oxygen tanks, pediatric and adult wheelchairs, surgical instruments and different types of laboratory supply kits are also part of the consignment.
Other medical supplies expected in Kenya in coming weeks will be dispatched to several other needy hospitals in the counties under the auspices of Beyond Zero Initiative.
Project C.U.R.E, an International relief organisation that identifies, collects, sorts and distributes medical supplies and services donated the consignment.
It is the world’s largest distributor of donated medical supplies to resource-limited communities across the globe.
Project C.U.R.E Executive Director Katie Mabardy said the inventory for the Kenyan consignments has been approved by a technical team from the Ministry of Health.
“Our impression is that Beyond Zero is very significant both in Kenya and globally,” said Ms Mabardy.
“The First Lady is well respected here. People are ready to give more support to ship more medical equipment to Kenya,” she added.
