Nairobi Hospital to open new training college

The Nairobi Hospital will soon launch a college to equip Kenyan health professionals with post-basic training.

Speaking to The Standard on Sunday, CEO Cleopa Mailu said this is in line with the hospital’s mission to contribute to manpower development in the country.

Currently, the Nairobi Hospital runs the Cicely McDonnel School of Nursing, which has so far graduated 1,600 nurses, a third of whom have been absorbed by the hospital.

“We have the infrastructure to train people, expose people to good practices; be it nurses, laboratory technologists, radiographers or doctors,” Dr Mailu said.

He said there was need to expose basic-trained healthcare professionals to the best practices in healthcare delivery, and for the hospital to make a name for itself in this.
