Free Medical Hearing Camp Conducted at Maragua Level 4 Hospital
The County Government of Murang’a, in partnership with Doctors of Hearing Organisation, successfully conducted a free medical hearing camp at Maragua Level 4 Hospital ahead of World Hearing Day, which will be observed on Monday, 3rd March 2025.
Murang’a residents who attended received specialized services from a highly qualified team of audiologists and hearing consultants. Additionally, hearing aids were provided to individuals diagnosed with hearing loss, ensuring they get the support they need.
The camp also aimed at raising awareness about the causes of hearing problems, such as sudden deafness and noise-induced hearing loss, and highlighted important preventive measures to protect ear health.
A notable observation was the high number of children with hearing impairment, prompting a call to parents to prioritize early check-ups for their children. Young people were also advised to minimize exposure to excessive noise to prevent long-term hearing damage.
Key officials present included CECM Education Faith Njoroge, Chief Officer for Medical Services Isaac Karoga, HR Maragua Hospital Lisper Njoroge, and a medical team led by Audiologist Richard Mwangi, among other dignitaries.
We appreciate everyone who took part in making this initiative a success and remain committed to enhancing healthcare access for all.
