President Kibaki on Friday commended the Aga Khan Development Network for its contribution to the country’s health and education sectors.
Speaking at his Harambee House office during a meeting with the Aga Khan, President Kibaki noted that no significant development could be achieved without adequate education and proper healthcare.
The Head of State welcomed the Aga Khan University Hospital’s move to establish an ultra-modern Heart and Cancer Centre in Nairobi.
Improving lives
The President pointed out that the heart and cancer centre would go a long way towards improving the lives of Kenyans by enabling them to access high quality healthcare services.
The Aga Khan assured President Kibaki that the heart and cancer centre would be accessible to the poor through the Aga Khan University Hospital’s Patient Welfare Programme.
He also pledged his continued support to the country’s education and health sectors.
The Aga Khan is in the country for the official opening of the US$50 million state-of-the-art Heart and Cancer Centre at the Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi.
