QHKAWARDS

CATEGORY

The Quality Healthcare Kenyan Awards (QHKA) announced its winners in 14 categories of the
3rd QHKA edition. Lions Sightfirst Eye Hospital (LSFEH) emerged 1st runners up in the
“people’s choice -private hospital category” in its inaugural entry in the event.
The Winners were announced during the Quality Healthcare Kenyan Awards gala dinner
ceremony held on 7th April 2022 at Safari Park Hotel under the theme “Quality and Universal
Health Coverage”; which coincided with World Health Day. Dr. Simon Kibias in his speech
delivered on behalf of the cabinet secretary Hon. Mutahi Kagwe said Covid 19 exposed our
weakness as healthcare providers but equally provided opportunities for innovation to
deliver services efficiently and save lives and that there is no universal health coverage
without quality healthcare.. Quality Healthcare Kenyan Awards is a brainchild of the Director,
Grace Ndegwa who works in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Amref Health
Africa. The initiative is supported by various partners including the United Nations Population
Fund (UNFPA) and SafeCare. LSEH effort and contribution towards quality healthcare in
Kenya was recognized (1st runners-up). Congratulations to LSFEH staff and Board of
