Kenyatta National Hospital<\/span><\/span>\u00a0witnessed greatness in coming<\/span><\/span>\u00a0together.<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/div>
Citi Bank in partnership with Toto<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Care Box, Junior Achievement Kenya\u00a0<\/span><\/span>and Miti Alliance donated 10 beds<\/span><\/span>\u00a0towards the Adopt A Bed initiative,<\/span><\/span>665 Toto Care Box package, dignity<\/span><\/span>\u00a0pack bags and 20 chairs to the labour<\/span><\/span>\u00a0ward staff on Wednesday, August 24,<\/span><\/span>2022.<\/span><\/span>
<\/span>
The event was graced by KNH Board<\/span><\/span>\u00a0of Management representative, Dr.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Stanley Kamau, EBS who welcomed<\/span><\/span>\u00a0and thanked the donors for their kind<\/span><\/span>\u00a0gesture which will go a long way in<\/span><\/span>\u00a0ensuring that the mothers who come<\/span><\/span>\u00a0to KNH to welcome their bundle of joy<\/span><\/span>\u00a0are comfortable and have a positive<\/span><\/span>\u00a0birth experience.<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
\u201cAt KNH, we strive to give the best<\/span><\/span>\u00a0health care services to our patients.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Our guests partnering today to give<\/span><\/span>\u00a0dignity during sickness to the patients<\/span><\/span>\u00a0is much appreciated,\u201d said Dr. Kamau.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Citi Bank CEO Mr. Martin Mugambi,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0emphasized on the need to counter<\/span><\/span>\u00a0neo-natal mortality rate which as of<\/span><\/span>\u00a02018 stood at 19.6 deaths per live<\/span><\/span>\u00a0births in Kenya according to the World\u00a0<\/span>Health Organization. This, he said was<\/span><\/span>\u00a0slightly above average but still needed<\/span><\/span>\u00a0more effort to keep the numbers<\/span><\/span>\u00a0down.<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
Toto Care Box CEO Ms. Lucy<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Kaigutha reiterated the need for<\/span><\/span>\u00a0dignity in maternal health care which<\/span><\/span>\u00a0led to the birth of her Toto Care Box<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\u201cData shows that if nations and<\/span><\/span>\u00a0organizations are committed to<\/span><\/span>\u00a0accelerating progress in reducing<\/span><\/span>\u00a0child and maternal mortality, they<\/span><\/span>\u00a0must give more attention to resources<\/span><\/span>\u00a0around delivering quality care at the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0time of birth and during the critical<\/span><\/span>\u00a0day and weeks after birth, and this is<\/span><\/span>\u00a0why Toto Care Box was born. It is a<\/span><\/span>\u00a0newborn survival kit that we use as an<\/span><\/span>\u00a0incentive to encourage women from<\/span><\/span>\u00a0poor and marginalized communities<\/span><\/span>\u00a0to attend at least 4 antenatal care<\/span><\/span>\u00a0visits and deliver in a health facility,\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0said Ms. Kaigutha.<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
The package contains an<\/span><\/span>\u00a0assortment of 18 essential items<\/span><\/span>\u00a0including a sleeping box that doubles<\/span><\/span>\u00a0as a crib, waterproof mattress,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0mosquito net, under sheet, blanket,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0set of baby clothes, a leso, cotton<\/span><\/span>\u00a0wool 100g (for mums to cater for post-<\/span><\/span>partum bleeding), 50g cotton wool\u00a0<\/span>and surgical spirit for umbilical cord<\/span><\/span>\u00a0care, water guard, painkillers, tissue<\/span><\/span>\u00a0paper, 3 reusable nappies, 3 nappy liners<\/span><\/span>, soap, condoms, DTS-Z kit which<\/span><\/span>\u00a0contains flavored ORS and dispersible<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Zinc Sulphate tablets combined in<\/span><\/span>\u00a0one easy-to-use box, a Toto care<\/span><\/span>\u00a0leaflet among others.<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
The team later on visited the labor<\/span><\/span>\u00a0ward led by Ag. Director Nursing<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Services, Ms. Raheli Mukhwana to<\/span><\/span>\u00a0demonstrate to the new mothers how<\/span><\/span>\u00a0to use the packages handed over to<\/span><\/span>\u00a0them. The mothers appreciated the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0kind gesture saying it will go a long<\/span><\/span>\u00a0way in helping them keep their babies<\/span><\/span>\u00a0healthy.<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
This came as Citi Bank marked the<\/span><\/span>\u00a017th World Global Community Day<\/span><\/span>\u00a0whereby Citi volunteers around the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0world engage in service activities that<\/span><\/span>\u00a0benefit local communities.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
