Patients admitted to the patients' hostel enjoy lower fees than those admitted in the ward.
In addition to these, there is a sixteen-bed guest hostel equipped with training facilities,
ideal
for small group seminars/workshops or retreats at very reasonable charges. THE CENTRE'S MISSION The Centre's mission/purpose is three fold:
OUTREACH / MOBILE CLINICS The aim of the programme is to create Awareness with regard to orthopaedic disabilities and also publicizing the centre’s activities. The children or other orthopaedic patients are screened in the field and then referred to the centre for definitive care e.g. surgery, special orthoses and ‘or physiotherapy. We use the local churches, local administration and special institutions like the association of the physically disabled of Kenya to reach the communities and organize them. The community outreach team usually includes a surgeon, a nurse, a therapist and a prosthetist. The team visits various communities on a regular basis or a s frequently as necessary both for screening new patients and follow-up of the old ones. Where called for, the patents are brought to the hospital, have surgery, physiotherapy or prosthesis fitted and discharged appropriately. They may stay in the ward for a period of 1-4 weeks. |
