Dr Kennedy Okoth, Deputy Director of Nursing Services in Homa Bay County thanked Mozzart for the donations.
“We really appreciate the good gesture shown by Mozzart and it sends a very clear message to other organisations to also give back to the society.

Deputy Nursing Officer at the hospital Ms. Jane Owaka during the event.
“We still have limitations as a county and this should be the start of more private – public partnerships especially in capacity building in health and other sectors.” He added.

“On behalf of the hospital, I sincerely thank Mozzart for the donations. We didn’t have enough oxygen concentrators before and only had one patient monitor. Our High Dependency Unit (HDU) will now be functional but the reality is this (equipment) is not enough,” she said,
“We still need more bedside lockers, patient monitors, beds, oxygen concentrators and incubators. Mozzart has done a great job and we now hope other organizations can do the same,” she added.

“Between November 2020 and now, fourteen different hospitals have received this essential medical equipment. The plan is to proceed with the donations and I want to assure the people of Rachuonyo that we have heard their cries and we shall, hopefully, be back soon with more.” He added.
