Kenya needs to train more personnel for cheaper, quality healthcare

The Aga Khan University Hospital Chief Operations Officer Outreach Network, Khurram Jamal.

Khurram Jamal, the Chief Operating Officer at Aga Khan University Hospital's Outreach Health Network East Africa, says that students the University trains are "superstars", ready to take on challenging working environments to deliver the best possible healthcare.

While many associate the Aga Khan University Hospital with prestige and would expect unbearably high costs of services, Mr Jamal says general physician consultation fees are lower here than in many hospitals and are "competitive", and that their outreach hospitals, which provide the same services the main hospital does, have even lower charges.
