Kenya has three Hand Specialist Surgeons, including Dr. Paul Mwangi, who was supported by MTRH to undertake Hand Surgery training at University of The Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa in 2015/16.

This successful and highly specialized surgery is part of the fruits of MTRH Board & Management (fully supported by Government of Kenya through Ministry of Health and The National Treasury & Economic Planning) long-range goal of developing multi-and sub-specialty surgical & medical skills, continual staff capacity development, huge investments in medical infrastructure and specialized equipment with a high work performance culture.

Well done, the MTRH team led by CEO Dr. Wilson K. Aruasa. Keep up the good work.

This Sunday, I would like to applaud the medical team at MTRH that successfully replanted/re-attached a traumatically amputated limb.

The patient, a 35-year-old male, had a Left Hand Traumatic Amputation through the carpus (wrist).

The MTRH team worked in two teams, alternately repairing/re-attaching the limb and revascularization. The surgery, a medical marathon, took over 11 hours to complete.

This morning, the patient was moved from ICU to General Orthopedics Ward where he will continue with daily reviews/initiation of Occupational Therapy rehabilitation.

Well done to the Surgical team at MTRH:
Francis Kosgei - Clinical Nurse Educator (CNE), Theatres
Sharon Cherotich - Perioperative Nursing Officer (NO)
Nehemiah Nyainda - Perioperative NO
Rose Keino NO, Post Anaesthesia Care Unit (PACU)
Caren Cherotich - Student Nurse
Oscar Ang'anda- Student Nurse
Michael Omondi- Clinical Officer (CO) Anaesthetist
Ezra Samoita-CO Anaesthetist

The Senate it turning the GOP tax bill into another health reform repeal bill. Once again: repealing the ACA mandate without a replacement will do nothing to make our health and health care better, only worse. https://t.co/1RPDVsH35g
