At least 240 people in eight regions across the country are set to benefit from a series of free ear surgeries supported by the Safaricom Foundation.
The surgeries to be conducted in partnership with Operation Ear Drop will particularly target needy children with hearing impairment that require surgery. Adults will also benefit from the exercise.
Speaking at Nanyuki Teaching and Referral Hospital where the second of the Safaricom Foundation funded surgical outreach took place, Safaricom Foundation Trustee Stephen Chege said the foundation had committed Sh3,356,000 towards screening, surgeries and after care for ENT patients in eight regions across Kenya.
“We have already been to Kisii where 14 surgeries were done last month. The next surgical camp will be in Kisumu in December.
This shows our commitment towards transforming the lives of Kenyans by improving their health status,” he said. At least 54 people in Nanyuki have confirmed surgeries. The area was selected to benefit due to a lack of capacity for the referral hospital to conduct ear surgeries.
