ISSUE 15 | Kenyatta National Hospital Newsline
Dear Colleagues, The last week has been a great one for Kenyatta National Hospital. The institution and some of its staff were separately feted in recognition of their excellence in service delivery as well as prudent management of resources. (Read the main story, page 3) KNH was declared the best public institution in energy management during the 18th Energy Management Awards held at the Safari Park Hotel, Nairobi. The entries to this award were submitted by Director Facilities and Services Eng. Richard Binga and his team. Board member Mr. Emmanuel Bitta, Dr. Makanyengo Margaret Omondi Othieno, a retired Consultant Psychiatrist and former Head of the Mental Health Department and Dr. Weston Khisa Wakasiaka were awarded Moran of the Order of the Burning Spear (M.B.S). On the other hand Senior Director, Clinical Services Dr. Irene Inwani, and Mrs. Rose Mugambi, Director, Supply Chain Management were awarded the Order of the Grand Warrior of Kenya (O.G.W). We at Newsline would like to congratulate the awardees for the good work done. But we would also wish to challenge the rest of the staff to redouble their efforts and help maintain the KNH flag where it currently is – at the top.
