The KNH Prime Care Centre (KPCC) however, has made this a season to spread festive cheer and raise awareness about KPCC services through a Christmas campaign themed #12DaysOfChristmas. It was officiated by KPCC Senior Director, Dr. John Ngigi and will run from 14th December to 25th December 2022.

Senior Director’s Staff Appreciation

On 14th December 2022; the first day of KPCC 12 days of Christmas, Dr. Ngigi appreciated five (5) staff for their outstanding performance in 2022. They include Mr. Lawrence Muthiani and Ms. Cynthia Vwenda (Nursing), Mr. Mike Ayienga (Housekeeping), Ms. Josephine Ngila (Finance) and Ms. Ann Wanja (Catering).

“We issue this token to these few employees who are a representation of us all. This appreciation portrays hard work and excellence at KPCC and everyone should feel a part of it,” said Dr. Ngigi while issuing the five with recognition certificates and shopping vouchers.

Additionally, he commended the Manager, Marketing & Communication-Ms. Edel Mwende for being feted as a Rising star in Marketing during the 5th African Marketers Conference & Awards 2022.

The Senior Director, KPCC sacrificed a portion of his salary towards more vein viewers for the KPCC paediatric ward. A vein viewer is a hand-held device that projects a map of the patient’s veins on the surface of the skin.

“This vein viewer will go a long way in aiding pediatric cannulation at the facility,” said Dr. Ngigi.

While handing over the equipment to ward 9A, he also went ahead to give a rallying call to everyone to embrace the spirit of giving during this festive season. “Let’s give the little we have to people out there who truly deserve it,” he added.
