The UoN Dental Hospital theater resumes operation after more than one year of closure that was occasioned by the breakdown of the anaesthetic machine. The hospital purchased a replacement and today marked the inaugural surgery with the new machine.

The UoN Dental Hospital was on Monday 13th, 2023 successfully inspected by the KMPDC as a Dental Intern Centre. Present for the inspection meeting was Dr. Walter Odhiambo - Chairman of the Department and respective Heads of Units in the Department.

The University of Nairobi Dental Hospital commissioned a new anaesthetic machine for the Hospital theater.

In attendance were the Dean FHS - Prof. George Osanjo, the MD UNES - Dr. Seith Abeka, Consultant Surgeons and Anaesthesists from the Dental School and Kenyatta National Hospital. The nursing team and the biomedical engineers witnessed the demonstration on the operations of the new machine.

The theater will start operations next week to offer services to patients as well as training of Postgraduates in Maxillofacial Surgery.
