Dr. Philip Kiptanui Kirwa Appointed New CEO of Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital
Dr. Philip Kiptanui Kirwa has been officially appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer of Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH). Dr. Kirwa succeeds Dr. Wilson K. Aruasa, who led the hospital for two successful terms.
In his inaugural address to the press held at the hospital premises, Dr. Kirwa expressed profound gratitude to everyone who supported him throughout the selection process. “I want to thank all who have supported and prayed for me, including the President, those who competed with me, and the CS Health, Susan Nakhumicha, who saw that I am fit for the job,” he stated.
Dr. Kirwa takes on his new role following a notable period as the acting CEO, during which he navigated the hospital through a challenging strike. “Since I was acting during the strike, MTRH alone was the one working, and this was because of the selflessness of our staff,” he remarked.
“I want to thank everybody who made it happen. Without you, MTRH would be nowhere. Let’s work for the benefit of our clients.”
His appointment comes at a critical time when the hospital is striving to enhance its service delivery and uphold its reputation as a leading medical institution in Kenya. Dr. Kirwa’s acknowledgment of the collaborative effort needed to maintain and improve the hospital’s standards signals his commitment to fostering a supportive and efficient working environment.
Dr. Kirwa’s vision for MTRH includes building on the foundation laid by his predecessor and addressing the evolving healthcare needs of the community. His leadership is anticipated to bring fresh perspectives and continued progress to the hospital.
In closing, Dr. Kirwa’s message to the hospital staff and the wider community was one of unity and dedication. “Let us continue to work together for the benefit of our clients,” he urged, highlighting the importance of teamwork in achieving the hospital’s goals.
Dr. Philip Kiptanui Kirwa’s appointment marks a new chapter for Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, promising continued excellence and innovation in healthcare under his leadership.
