UoN to launch a cheaper caesarian section substitute

Nairobi, Kenya: As part of the maternal, newborn, and child healthcare in Kenya project a collaboration between Kenyatta National Hospital, Concern Worldwide and University of Nairobi, the university is to launch a series of quality medical equipment at a cheaper price.
    
“This is a well-thought out project expected to produce low cost medical devices the lack of which hamper access by mothers and newborns to quality maternal healthcare,” explains Dr. Ayah, who is also a Lecturer in Health Systems Management.

With rampant hitches in the maternal health care delivery, this project entails fabricating quality equipment to be used such as the photo-therapy unit with specific light wavelengths to protect pre-mature babies in the incubators, a suction machine customized to patient needs, rechargeable medical examination lights in the delivery room, as well as a medical vacuum extractor that could come in handy for assisted deliveries.
