Kendu Adventist Hospital - A Service Call for Surgeons

Transcript:
"Kendu Adventist Hospital is the oldest and largest Seventh-day Adventist medical facility in Kenya. It was founded in 1925, and since then, the institution has grown into a 170-bed Level 4 teaching and referral hospital with a School of Medical Sciences for training nurses and clinical officers. The hospital is an accredited internship training center, and has nurtured generations of doctors, clinicians, and nurses.

Kendu Adventist Hospital is a Christian community committed to excellence in provision of compassionate care, spiritual ministry, and training for service to the glory of God. Kendu Adventist Hospital is a major referral facility with a wide range of surgical, medical, maternity, and pediatric services.

The surgical department has 3 theatre rooms for major procedures, a post-operative recovery room, and a 6 bed ICU, all of which are connected to an easily accessible surgical ward. The surgical department provides a wide range of surgical services led by both national and international providers. Kendu hosts multiple surgical teams each year, to conduct 1 week medical camps, providing surgery to those who are otherwise unable to afford care. Common procedures include: prostatectomies, hernia repair, appendectomy, cholecystectomy, open reduction internal fixations, biopsies, amputations, and colon resections to name a few.

The theatre staff performs 50 elective cases per month on average. We have been reliant upon locum surgeons for elective cases, but will be joined with a full time PAACS alumnus this year.

The theatre is equipped with a laparoscopy tower, and visiting consultants help provide training on advanced surgical techniques such as minimally invasive surgery. Kendu has a fruitful partnership with Adventist Health International, as well as Loma Linda University, which is our sponsoring academic entity.

We are looking for a full time resident surgeon, one who is a Godly christian, committed to excellence and interested in learning and training. We are able to provide housing, educational assistance for dependent children, and opportunities for career growth and training in advanced surgical procedures.

We invite you to join us at Kendu Adventist Hospital in the legacy of healing ministry as we further God’s kingdom through compassionate care."
