Our Stitch & Knot Hybrid Laparoscopic Suturing Programme (Oct–Nov Cohort 1) concluded with a successful 2-day Hysterectomy Surgical Camp at Mary Help of the Sick Mission Hospital- Thika

After weeks of structured workshops at SurgiEdge Training Centre, guided mentorship by our trainers, and home-based practice on the Endo Bora Pelvic Trainer, our 10 trainees stepped into the OR with confidence under the supervision of the Lead Surgeon Dr Dennis Mureithi.

Their progress in suturing and knot-tying was evident, skills sharpened and readiness demonstrated as they performed the surgeries in pairs. We’re truly proud of their progress.

Big moments ahead as we continue advancing the vision: Making MIS the norm, not the Exception. Be part of the next cohort of participants in January 2026 and start your journey of being a Gyn Laparoscopic Surgeon.

We were delighted to host Workshop 3 of the Stitch & Knot Hybrid Laparoscopic Suturing Programme. Dr. Dennis Mureithi led an insightful lecture, followed by hands-on practicals and interactive breakout sessions.

Stitch & Knot is more than a skills course, it’s a transformative effort to close the MIS capacity gap and broaden access to safer, less invasive surgery across Kenya and the wider East African region. We are already seeing real impact as participants apply their enhanced skills in the theatre, elevating patient care.

The journey toward making MIS the norm, not the exception continues . . .

Pregnancy-induced diabetes (Gestational Diabetes Mellitus) affects an estimated 2%–10% of pregnant women in Kenya, a reminder of why awareness matters.

As we mark Diabetes Month this November 14th, it is necessary to highlight the impact diabetes has on both mothers and their infants.

Diabetes occurs when blood sugar levels become too high, and early detection is key to protecting the health of both mom and baby.

Let’s stay informed and encourage regular screening.
