Originally published by Ministry of Defence – Kenya — Read the original article →
Quality healthcare is a strategic pillar of military readiness, ensuring that personnel remain physically fit, mentally resilient and operationally prepared to fulfil their mandate. Sustained investment in modern medical infrastructure, specialised healthcare and emergency response capabilities is therefore essential to safeguarding the welfare of military personnel and sustaining operational effectiveness.
In advancing this priority, the Chief of the Defence Forces (CDF), General Charles Kahariri, visited the Defence Forces Memorial Hospital (DFMH) to assess its existing healthcare capacity, infrastructure, ongoing projects and future development requirements ahead of its planned modernisation into a fully equipped Level 5 healthcare facility.
The visit focused on aligning the hospital’s infrastructure, medical technology and specialised services with evolving healthcare demands, while enhancing its capacity to provide comprehensive medical support to Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) personnel and their families.
