Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH Kenya) has launched its inaugural Strategic Plan to guide a clear and purposeful course for the organization’s future.
The strategic initiative was driven by the need to align AMPATH’s actions with its core mission and vision, fostering a cohesive and focused approach to its multifaceted endeavours in healthcare, research, and education.
When did AMPATH Kenya begin?
AMPATH began in 1988 as an educational medical partnership between Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM), Moi University (MU) and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) to collaboratively build capacity in health service delivery, engage in health research, and develop leaders in healthcare in the United States and Kenya.
The program has so far grown to include Ghana, Mexico, and Nepal.
With a rich history of over three decades; distinguished by its unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality healthcare, conducting cutting-edge research, transforming medical education, and also improving the well-being of individuals in Kenya and beyond.
AMPATH intends to leverage its strengths including Strategic Partnerships and Collaborations; to become the largest treatment site in Sub-Saharan Africa/AMPATH Brand.
The launch culminated in a four-day AMPATH Executive Board retreat where all the major projects and their local primes as well as partner representatives met for progress report dissemination.
The Strategic Plan was launched in the presence of CEO MTRH Dr. Philip Kirwa (Chair, AMPATH Executive Board), Prof. Tenge Kuremu (Principal, MU-CHS), Prof. Sylvester Kimaiyo (Executive Director, Care/Chief of Party, AMPATH Uzima), and Prof. Winstone Nyandiko (Executive Director, Research), AMPATH Executive Board and AMPATH Directors and managers.
