Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) has successfully conducted its first-ever Coronary Angiogram Camp, held from Friday, June 20 to Saturday, June 21, 2025.
\u200e
\u200eThis landmark 2-day event marks the first time such procedures have been performed in the North and Western regions of Kenya\u2014and within a public healthcare facility.
\u200e
\u200eA coronary angiogram is a minimally invasive imaging procedure that uses contrast dye and X-ray technology to visualize coronary arteries. It’s crucial for diagnosing blockages, narrowing, or abnormalities in heart blood flow\u2014particularly in patients with chest pain, shortness of breath, or abnormal stress test results.
\u200e
\u200eThe camp saw six (6) patients undergo both diagnostic and interventional coronary procedures, made possible through a collaboration between MTRH and Aga Khan University Hospital.
\u200e
\u200eDr. Ayub Barasa, Head of Cardiology at MTRH, emphasized that coronary angiograms not only confirm the presence of coronary artery disease but also allow for immediate treatment\u2014such as stent placement\u2014reducing repeat visits and overall costs.
\u200e
\u200eThe CEO, Dr. Philip Kirwa thanked the Government of Kenya through the Ministry of Health for enabling specialized care services under the Social Health Authority (SHA).
\u200e
\u200eHe encouraged the public to continuously register into SHA, noting that clients would benefit immensely.
\u200e
\u200eWe appreciate the visiting team from Aga Khan University Hospital led by Dr. Jeilan Mohammed and Dr. Etienne Amendezo; MTRH team led by Dr. Ayub Barasa, Dr. Wilson Sugut, Dr. Joan Kiyeng and Dr. David Lagat, alongside Nursing, Radiology & Biomedical staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative marks a huge step forward towards accessible and life-saving cardiac care for the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
