MTRH Launches New 1.5 Tesla MRI Centre to Enhance Patient Care

The Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) has officially launched its new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Centre, marking a significant milestone in the provision of high-quality medical services in the region. The state-of-the-art centre, located at the Hospital’s Memorial Grounds, is now operational, offering advanced 1.5 Tesla MRI services to patients in need of precise and detailed imaging.

This new MRI facility is the only one of its kind in a public healthcare facility in the region, making it a key asset for the local community and beyond. MTRH’s MRI & Cath-Lab Centre utilizes cutting-edge MRI technology, providing high-resolution images to support accurate diagnoses while maintaining affordable rates for patients. This advancement aims to enhance the hospital’s ability to provide comprehensive diagnostic services across various specialties.

“Our MRI services harness the power of cutting-edge technology, featuring state-of-the-art MRI machines that provide high-resolution images yet at affordable rates,” said a spokesperson for MTRH. “We are committed to offering accessible and top-tier imaging services to the public, ensuring that every patient receives the best care possible.”

The centre is staffed by a highly skilled, multi-specialty team of professionals dedicated to ensuring an excellent customer experience. In addition to providing MRI imaging, the team offers support through the registration process and guides patients through pre-authorization steps under the **Social Health Authority (SHA)**, ensuring a smooth and efficient service.

The new facility also houses an **Interventional Radiology Unit**, where patients undergo assessments and therapeutic, minimally-invasive procedures. This unit is an integral part of the hospital’s strategy to provide cutting-edge, less invasive treatment options. Furthermore, the upcoming **Cardiac Catheterisation (Cath-Lab)** unit will play a crucial role in the life-saving management of coronary artery diseases, including conditions like cardiac arrest.

MTRH continues to expand its capacity to provide specialized medical services, aiming to cater to a wide range of patient needs. “MTRH remains committed to providing sub-specialized services to all, ensuring that our community has access to advanced healthcare without having to travel far,” said the spokesperson.

The launch of the 1.5 Tesla MRI Centre is a testament to MTRH’s dedication to improving healthcare delivery in the region, offering patients more comprehensive and timely diagnostic services in the comfort of a local public facility.
