THE OXYGEN GENERATING PLANT

The Plant generates oxygen used in the Hospital. Currently, a piping system is being installed in phases- a process that will see the wards access piped oxygen. This makes the Hospital among the few institutions to own such a plant.

SUPPLIES WAREHOUSE

The hospital has constructed a magnificent warehouse that will be utilized by both the Hospital and the AMPATH programme.

IVPU

The intravenous production unit (IVPU) is now producing IV fluids that are sufficiently serving the wards. The unit is manufacturing more than five solutions through reverse osmosis namely; Dextrose 5%, Sodium Chloride, Dextrose 10%, Ringer Lactate (Hartman’s solution), Surgical and Methylated Spirits.

KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS
The Hospital successfully carried out two Kidney Transplants on 24th and 25th March 2009, this being the third mission to take place at the Hospital. Since the inception of the exercise, six patients; two females and four males received successful kidney transplants and are responding positively to post operative management.

AMPATH REFERENCE LABORATORY
The Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH )  has a fully equipped clinical research Laboratory capable of performing various biochemistry, immunology, hematology and molecular tests to meet the ever-growing number of clients.
 
MDR TB ISOLATION WARD
The four-bed capacity unit presently houses one XDR-TB patient- the only XDR-TB case in the country.
INCINERATOR

The hospital has one of the largest incinerator in western Kenya. It is a dual powered that can attain a maximum of 120 degrees Celsius. It burns upto 120 kgs of waters per hour.

MTRH WATER TREATMENT PLANT

The water treatment plant, which will draw water from the Hospital borehole, is an innovation to ensure that water for consumption is safe and clean. The Director said that there are plans to bottle the commodity for use at the Hospital cafeteria, during meetings, seminars and workshops. The Hospital is currently supplied with water by Eldoret Water and Sewerage Company (ELDOWAS) and with its water treatment plant in place, its water bills would be reduced by 50%.
HIGH POWER GENERATOR

MTRH  now has an alternative power generator capable of generating 200 KVA of electric power. The 200 KVA engine has a three-phase system capable of generating  power within nine seconds in an event of an abrupt electricity supply disconnection or failure. The  Hospital has other Power Generators serving all its sections.  There is one in Memorial Wing capable of generating 100 KVA, another at Majaliwa Theatre of 40 KVA, one for the Main Building of 330 KVA, one for High Trunk with the capacity of generating 5 KVA, and 2 for AMPATH Programme capable for releasing 330 KVA combined.

AMPATH/ MTRH HAART FARMS

AMPATH (Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare,)-a partnership between Indiana University School of Medicine, Moi University School of Medicine, and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital has launched a Family Preservation Initiative(FPI) which  brings patients to economic security through Agricultural extension services, Business Development Services including ;Micro Credit  facilities, and Imani Workshops , a Handicrafts workshop which employs over 100 HIV-positive  patients.
The initiative focuses on sustainability initiatives on agriculture-related businesses, since agriculture is a core competency of AMPATH patients, a competitive advantage in Kenya and over 75% of AMPATH patients/clients are experienced farmers with access to land. The initial project is a greenhouse, which grows passion fruit seedlings and a passion fruit juicing operation that will include cold storage and a water treatment facility. In the near future AMPATH envisages includes a beekeeping operation for honey production.
