Good news to patients at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH), which has announced the availability of high-quality CT Coronary Angiography services, enabled by the Hospital’s new 128-slice CT scanner.
The Directorate of Radiology & Imaging said the service was currently available at the institution.
CT Coronary Angiography is a non-invasive imaging test that uses specialised CT images to examine the coronary arteries—the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. It helps doctors identify narrowed or blocked arteries and assess blood flow to the heart, supporting accurate diagnosis and effective patient management.
The service is covered by the Social Health Authority (SHA), enhancing access to advanced cardiac diagnostic services for eligible patients.
The enhancement of this service has been made possible through the National Equipment Support Programme (NESP), a government-supported initiative aimed at strengthening healthcare service delivery through the provision, installation, and maintenance of essential medical equipment.
Through NESP, MTRH continues to benefit from improved access to modern and functional medical equipment, strengthening its diagnostic and treatment capacity, and supporting the efficient delivery of specialised healthcare services.
The availability of CT Coronary Angiography reflects the commitment of the Government, through the Ministry of Health, and the MTRH Hospital Management to strengthening advanced diagnostic services and improving access to quality healthcare.
With the advancement of this service, MTRH further scales up its capacity to provide modern, quality, and accessible diagnostic care to patients requiring specialised cardiac imaging.
