A Week of Healing and Hope: Closing the 3rd Edition of Free Urology Surgery Week

Yesterday marked the successful conclusion of the 3rd Edition of our Free Urology Surgery Week — a remarkable outreach that brought healing, hope, and restored dignity to hundreds within our community. This impactful initiative was made possible through our continued partnership with Samaritan's Purse, whose unwavering commitment to serving humanity continues to transform lives. From the very first day, the hospital grounds were filled with patients seeking specialized urology care. Over the course of the week, more than 200 individuals received free consultations and screenings. For many, this was their first opportunity to access specialized medical attention. Even more life-changing was the fact that over 50 patients successfully underwent free surgical procedures — procedures that would have otherwise remained financially out of reach. Behind every successful surgery was a team of dedicated professionals who gave their all. Our surgical team worked tirelessly, long hours blending skill with compassion, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of every patient entrusted to their care. Their commitment went beyond the operating theatre — it was service rooted in purpose. Equally instrumental was our Customer Care team, who ensured smooth coordination between patients and doctors. From registration to post-surgery follow-ups, they created an environment of reassurance and order, allowing patients to feel supported every step of the way. The planning committee also played a vital role in the success of this outreach. Through strategic mobilization and community engagement, they enabled us to reach members of the larger community who were in dire need of free urology services. Their efforts ensured that help reached those who needed it most. As the week came to a close, we gathered in fellowship over a shared meal — a moment of reflection, gratitude, and celebration. On behalf of the entire PCEA Chogoria Hospital community, we expressed our heartfelt appreciation for the profound impact made during this outreach. Lives were not only healed physically but uplifted emotionally. Confidence was restored. Dignity was renewed. As our partners journeyed back to the United States of America, our prayers and gratitude went with them. The Chogoria community remains deeply thankful. The seeds of compassion planted this week will continue to bear fruit for years to come. Indeed, this was more than a medical camp — it was a testament to what partnership, dedication, and compassion can achieve together.

🚴 Fellowship with Chogoria Middle Boda-Boda Operators

Today, PCEA Chogoria Hospital had the honor of hosting the Chogoria Middle Boda-Boda Operators for a powerful fellowship in partnership with our Chaplaincy Department. This gathering was more than a spiritual encounter — it was a holistic conversation about men’s health and wellness. Together, we addressed important questions, shared valuable insights, and encouraged practices that empower both body and spirit. The fellowship strengthened our bond with the community, reminding us that healthcare is not only about treatment but also about connection, dialogue, and shared growth. As part of this visit, we distributed Bibles to support their continued spiritual journey, ensuring that the Word of God remains a guiding light in their daily lives. We sincerely appreciate the presence of every operator who joined us, and we extend special gratitude to the Chairman for his outstanding leadership and for accepting our invitation. His commitment to the boda-boda community is a testament to the strength and resilience of this vital group. Together, we build a healthier, stronger, and more united community. #PCH #CaringWithLove #Fellowship #BodaBoda

💖 Sometimes Love is the Only Medicine You Need

At PCEA Chogoria Hospital, we believe that healing goes beyond prescriptions and procedures. True care begins with love — the kind that comforts, uplifts, and restores hope. This Valentine’s Day, our doors open wider than ever, not just to patients but to families, friends, and communities who remind us daily that compassion is the heartbeat of healthcare. Every smile shared, every hand held, and every word of encouragement is more than an act of service — it is an act of love. Love is the medicine that strengthens bonds between caregivers and patients. It is the gentle reassurance that you are not alone, the courage to face challenges together, and the joy of celebrating life’s victories, big or small. Today, we celebrate Valentine’s not with roses or chocolates, but with hearts full of kindness. Because here at PCEA Chogoria Hospital, every act of care is an act of love. Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us. 💝 #PCH #CaringWithLove #Valentine #ValentinesDay

Free Urology Surgery Week Kicks Off: Transforming Lives Through Care

More than 400 individuals will benefit from free consultations and screenings, ensuring early detection of conditions and timely medical intervention.

What began as a bold vision three years ago has now matured into a trusted annual event. Each edition has built upon the last, strengthening partnerships, expanding services, and deepening community trust. The Free Urology Surgery Week is not just about numbers—it is about stories of resilience, families reunited with hope, and lives transformed through compassionate care.

This initiative would not be possible without the generous support of Samaritan’s Purse, whose commitment to humanitarian service has been instrumental in making specialized healthcare accessible. Their collaboration with local hospitals and medical teams ensures that patients receive not only treatment but also holistic care that addresses physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

While surgeries are at the heart of this program, the consultations and screenings are equally vital. They empower individuals with knowledge about their health, encourage preventive practices, and reduce the burden of untreated conditions in our communities. By combining treatment with education, Free Urology Surgery Week is shaping a healthier future.

As we embark on this week of healing, we celebrate the courage of patients, the dedication of medical professionals, and the generosity of partners who make this possible. The 3rd Edition is a reminder that healthcare is not a privilege—it is a right, and when communities come together, barriers can be broken.
Together, we are not only treating conditions—we are restoring hope, dignity, and life itself.

ISO 15189:2022 Laboratory

At PCEA Chogoria Hospital, we believe that quality healthcare begins with trusted diagnostics. Today, we are thrilled to share a milestone that reflects this commitment: our laboratory has officially transitioned from ISO 15189:2012 to ISO 15189:2022 accreditation, granted by the Kenya Accreditation Service (KENAS).

This achievement places us among a select group of institutions nationwide recognized for meeting the highest international standards in medical laboratory quality and competence. For our patients, partners, and community, this is more than just a certificate—it is a promise of accuracy, reliability, and innovation in every test result we deliver.

ISO 15189 is the global benchmark for medical laboratories, ensuring that processes, equipment, and personnel meet rigorous standards. The 2022 update emphasizes not only technical excellence but also patient-centered care, risk management, and continuous improvement. By aligning with these standards, PCEA Chogoria Hospital demonstrates that our laboratory services are:

Accurate and Reliable: Every test result is backed by stringent quality controls.

Globally Recognized: Our accreditation assures patients and partners that we meet international best practices.

Future-Focused: The new ISO 15189:2022 framework encourages innovation, adaptability, and resilience in healthcare delivery.
For patients, this milestone translates into greater confidence in diagnostic outcomes—whether it’s routine blood work, specialized screenings, or complex investigations. For healthcare partners, it strengthens collaboration by ensuring that shared data and results are trustworthy and actionable.

Most importantly, it inspires us to keep pushing boundaries. Accreditation is not the finish line; it is a foundation for growth. We are already exploring advanced technologies, digital integration, and expanded services to make diagnostics faster, smarter, and more accessible.

This success is the result of teamwork, dedication, and a shared vision. From our laboratory staff who uphold meticulous standards, to our leadership that champions innovation, and to our patients who trust us with their health—this accreditation belongs to all of us.

As we celebrate this milestone, we reaffirm our commitment to excellence. At PCEA Chogoria Hospital, every test matters because every patient matters.

Prosthesis Unit | Solar Project Launch – A Historic Milestone for Our Hospital and Community

18th August was a truly transformative day in our journey of compassionate care. We proudly commissioned two groundbreaking initiatives: the Solar Energy Project and the Prosthesis Workshop—each a beacon of progress for our hospital and the wider Eastern region.
Powering Hope: The Solar Project
Our new solar energy system is more than just a technical upgrade—it’s a lifeline. By providing reliable backup power to our critical care units during outages, this project ensures uninterrupted care for our patients when they need it most. It also reflects our commitment to sustainability, reducing our environmental footprint while enhancing energy efficiency across the hospital.

🦿 Restoring Lives: The Prosthesis Workshop
