First Lady Margaret Kenyatta is tomorrow expected to unveil the latest technology on heart disease when she officially launches the cardiology programme at the Aga Khan Hospital,
Mombasa.
She will launch a digital flat-panel detector and fluoroscopic X-Ray system at the hospital’s refurbished cardiac catheterisation laboratory.
The
hospital becomes the first health facility in the country to install the technology. It also marks the first time that advanced heart disease procedures can be performed in Kenya,
outside
Nairobi.
The first such procedure was successfully performed at the hospital on Wednesday. More than 20 different procedures can be performed under the new laboratory.
