Mama Margaret Uhuru Hospital (MMUH) staff held their first Staff open forum (Kamukunji) on Friday, 3rd March 2023; an initiative geared towards culture change and improvement at MMUH.

Speaking during the event, MMUH Head of Clinical & Nursing services, Dr. Caroline Robai urged all staff to embrace teamwork and team spirit while discharging their duties to optimize our patients experience in the Hospital.

“Let us be unique in how we deliver our services by lifting each other whenever we see one of us going down,” said Dr. Robai

The event which was organized by the MMUH Culture Change Committee provided a forum for shared understanding and an opportunity for the staff to interact and bond with the Hospital management over a sumptuous breakfast.

Mama Margaret Uhuru Hospital was officially opened on 18th March 2022 by retired President, H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta with the mandate of being a level 6 Specialized Paediatric hospital.

However, the mandate has since changed to a general services hospital and the management is currently laying out the roadmap toward fully operationalizing the facility.
