St. Francis Community Hospital of the Catholic Archdiocese of Nairobi (ADN) in Kenya is set to launch a medical training college, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Kenyan health facility has said.
In her remarks during the Thursday, October 2 Eucharistic celebration in anticipation of the feast of St. Francis of Assisi marked on October 4, Sr. Esther Wairimu Mwangi expressed optimism about the realization of the initiative that she said would be instrumental in building the capacity of medical professionals.
“We are very proud to announce that we are establishing our very own St. Francis Community Hospital Training College, a milestone that will shape healthcare capacity for years to come,” Sr. Esther said in a speech that the Director of Medical Services at the Level Five hospital, Dr. Victoria Jebet, read out.
She added, “We celebrate our role as a hub of knowledge with collaborations with institutions of higher learning and also as an internship training center where we are nurturing the next generation of healthcare professionals.”
In her speech, Sr. Esther also reflected on the achievements of the health facility over the past year, including a successful rigorous inspection by the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC), a government regulator for the training and practice of medicine and dentistry.
