Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST) has partnered with Rainbow for Africa UK (R4AUK) to establish a state-of-the-art ultrasound simulation laboratory to strengthen medical training and improve maternal and neonatal healthcare in Western Kenya and across the country.
The facility, whose plans were unveiled during a three-day Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) training at MMUST will also serve as a Centre of Excellence for ultrasound training, research and innovation, positioning the university as a regional leader in medical education.
Rainbow for Africa UK President Massimo Gozzelino said the project is part of the organisation's broader mission of making quality healthcare accessible through innovation and technology.
"We are committed to bridging healthcare gaps by making quality healthcare more accessible through innovative technologies. We are confident that the ultrasound simulation laboratory at MMUST will be the first facility of its kind in Kenya and will transform the training of healthcare professionals while improving patient care," said Dr Gozzelino.
