Kenya, Morocco strengthen cooperation to expand cochlear implant services

Kenya has reinforced its dedication to enhancing specialized skills and knowledge through the Kenya–Morocco medical exchange programme in order to broaden cochlear implant services and benefit more children nationwide. This announcement came during a visit by First Lady Rachel Ruto, alongside Principal Secretary for Medical Services Dr. Ouma Oluga, to the Mohammed VI International University Hospital in Rabat.

The event was attended by Kenyan children receiving cochlear implants, their families, and medical personnel involved in the programme. Dr. Oluga, while on an official trip to Morocco, interacted with the children receiving cochlear implants, their families, and the medical professionals supporting the initiative. Dr. Oluga explained that the programme is part of the broader Kenya–Morocco health collaboration aimed at building specialized medical capabilities and improving access to transformative healthcare.

Funded by the Princess Lalla Asmaa Foundation, the programme assists children with hearing impairments in regaining their hearing and integrating more effectively into their families and environments.
