Editor's note

Dear Colleagues,

On 8th March, the world marked International Women’s Day (IWD). This event has taken place for over a century, with the first happening in the year 1911. IWD belongs to all women, and at KNH, it is another great opportunity to embrace fellow women by appreciating the effort they put in place to ensure the Hospital executes its vision of being a world-class patient-centered specialized care hospital.

I would like to encourage each one of us to also embrace diversity, equity and inclusion. Equity and inclusion, are the glue that hold diversity together at our various workstations. Without an equitable workplace and equal opportunity to resources and success for all, the playing field is not equal and therefore cannot foster a diverse or inclusive environment.

The management recognizes and appreciates the women who in their various areas of jurisdiction and specialties, go an extra mile beyond the call of duty to give exemplary results and would like to encourage others to follow suit.

Above all, let us strive to embrace equity everywhere, won’t we?

Dr. Irene Inwani, OGW Senior Director Clinical Services Kenyatta National Hospital.
