AGC Tenwek Hospital

Jesus Healed Them All" (Matthew 12:15) Every treatment at Tenwek is an opportunity to showcase Christ’s compassion. We do our best to care for our patients, knowing that Jesus heals all. Just as He healed many in Scripture, we trust Him to heal today, in body and spirit. #WeTreatJesusHeals #AGCTenwek

I was here at #AGCTenwekHospital in Bomet for the first time when I was 15 years old, and today we are here to dedicate the Cardiothoracic Centre building and its purpose to treat and spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. - Edward Graham, Chief Operating Officer Samaritan's Purse #WeTreatJesusHeals

I came to Kenya in 1992 during my surgical training, and saw a need to create further training in cardiological treatment. While 15 years ago I thought we could not pull off a heart surgery in such a rural setting, I was wrong because here we are today launching the #AGCTenwekHospital Cardiothoracic Centre. - Dr Russ White, Director Cardiothoracic Centre

This Ksh. 4.5 billion #AGCTenwekHospital Cardiothoracic Centre points to the confidence that our development partners have in Kenya. I extend a warm welcome to investors as Kenya is ripe for innovative healthcare investments. - Dr. William Ruto President of Kenya #WeTreatJesusHeals

The disparities in healthcare access between urban and rural areas, as well as among different economic classes, remain huge. #AGCTenwekHospital Cardiothoracic Centre raises the bar very high for medical practice in Kenya by bridging this gap through affordable and compassionate health care. – Dr. William Ruto, President of Kenya

#AGCTenwekHospital has enjoyed quiet respect among medical practitioners and inspired confidence among patients and their families. I appreciate the institutions, without whose support we would probably not be here today: World Gospel Mission, Africa Gospel Church, Friends of Tenwek, led by Samaritan Purse and the Tenwek Community, which has provided a home for the hospital for nearly a century. - The Ministry of Health Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Deborah Barasa #WeTreatJesusHeals

The #AGCTenwekHospital Cardiothoracic Centre represents visionary leadership, hard work, and collaboration. It is a symbol of our mission to provide excellent, compassionate healthcare in the name of Christ. For many years, #AGCTenwekHospital has been a beacon of hope for countless patients and families. We have strived to offer the highest standard of care, and with this new facility, we are taking a bold step forward in serving even more people. ⁠- Reverend Dr. Robert Langat, Board Chairman AGC Tenwek Hospital

This facility aligns with our mission which is deeply rooted and inspired by Christian teachings that healthcare is note merely a profession but a divine calling. This has helped us impact our communities in profound ways as we intertwine medical expertise with spiritual and holistic support. Construction of the CTC begun in 2021, but the real journey began in 2006 when #AGCTenwekHospital conducted a two-week medical clinic for patients suffering from rheumatic conditions. It was during that clinic that we conducted our first open heart surgery and subsequent procedures thereafter. It became apparent that rheumatic and congenital heart diseases were common in this region and Kenya at large. Since then, we have gradually built our capacity to provide treatment for these ailments through training of local medical staff and investing in state-of-the-art medical equipment. – Ag. CEO and Human Resource Director Benjamin Siele #WeTreatJesusHeals

Earlier, we had the honor of hosting Cabinet Secretary Dr. Deborah M. Barasa on a tour of the #AGCTenwekHospital Cardiothoracic Centre, guided by our skilled Cardiothoracic Surgeon, Dr. Arega. We're excited to officially open our doors to the public, offering access to treatment and God's healing. #WeTreatJesusHeals
