The First Lady thanked the University for its donation. She said the Beyond Zero initiative is firmly on course with only eight more mobile clinics remaining to be handed over to eight devolved units.

Others from the Aga Khan University Hospital team included the Director for Public Relations Ms Eunice Mwangi and the Director for Corporate Relations Ms Pauline Ngatia.

Earlier, the First Lady flagged-off the Kenyan edition of the World Lady Bikers Day to be observed Sunday globally. 

The day, marked every May 7th, aims to bring together female motorcycle riders and female motorcycle enthusiasts.

While the day’s activities are synchronised globally, each participating country decides what to undertake and the specific objectives to pursue.

The Women Bikers Association (WBA) Kenya seeks to primarily promote safe riding and the wearing of proper gear, especially the helmet which is the most important protective gear.
