MTRH Celebrates Housekeeping Team During World Housekeeping Week

Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) joined institutions around the world in commemorating World Housekeeping Week by recognizing the vital contribution of its housekeeping team in maintaining a clean, safe and welcoming environment for patients, visitors and staff.

The Hospital marked the occasion with a luncheon and sensitization session that brought together members of the Housekeeping Department and Hospital Management. The event provided an opportunity to appreciate the team’s dedication and highlight its important role in hospital operations and the patient experience.

Speaking during the event, Hospital Management commended the housekeeping team for its commitment and dedication, noting its role in maintaining a positive and welcoming environment for patients, visitors and staff.

MTRH Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Philip Kirwa, graced the occasion and joined the Hospital community in recognizing the team’s contribution. He expressed appreciation for the Department’s role in shaping the patient experience, particularly as housekeeping staff are among the first points of interaction for patients and visitors within the hospital environment.

As part of the celebrations, the Hospital also honoured two retired members of the housekeeping team who had completed their years of service at MTRH.

The commemoration highlighted the importance of looking beyond clinical services in the delivery of quality healthcare. A clean, safe and welcoming environment, supported by a valued and well-supported workforce, is an integral part of patient-centred care.

MTRH continues to recognize the contribution of every member of its workforce in advancing its mandate to provide quality healthcare services to patients and communities.
