Site Name | Aga Khan Hospital Kisumu |
Location | Kisumu, Kenya |
Commissioned Date | 14th Sept 2022 |
Purpose | to enhance surgical safety, efficiency, and patient outcomes by equipping Aga Khan Hospital, Kisumu with state-of-the-art anesthesia delivery systems |
Sector | Theatre |
Project Overview
As part of our strategic CAPEX roll-out to strengthen theatre infrastructure, Crown Healthcare installed two Mindray A9 Anesthesia Workstations at Aga Khan Hospital, Kisumu. These advanced units were commissioned to support the facility’s expanding elective and emergency surgical services, ensuring high performance in both adult and pediatric surgical cases.
Rationale for Investment
Increased Surgical Load: A rise in both elective and emergency procedures required modern, dual-capable anaesthesia workstations.
Obsolescence of Existing Units: Legacy equipment in the theatres was approaching end-of-life and lacked precision delivery, monitoring, and safety features.
Operational Redundancy: A second A9 unit ensures service continuity, even during maintenance or emergency situations.
