Project Scope
"With God's help and to His glory AIC Kijabe Hospital seeks to provide excellent compassionate health care, education, and spiritual ministry in the name of Jesus Christ." - Mission Statement of AIC Kijabe Hospital
In 1915 a medical ministry was established in Kijabe, Kenya by African Inland Mission. Over the last nearly 100 years the work has grown in impacting lives well over 100,000 patients a year in the present day 250+ bed hospital, outpatient department, and medical training facility known as AIC Kijabe Hospital.
Today the hospital is running at maximum capacity for its current physical size and infrastructure. There are more than 20 proposed expansion plans for the physical buildings on site in the next 10 years! The hospital is looking to EMI for help in evaluating and prioritizing its plans for expansion through the development of an overall Master Plan.
A first EMI team has traveled to the hospital in February 2010 to map the as-built layout and document the conditions of the present on-site buildings, water, wastewater, electrical, and mechanical systems since there has been very little documentation in the past. The first team will also seek to confirm programming needs which will be incorporated into the Master Plan which will be developed by the second team.
The second team will consider the growth and visions of various hospital buildings to include features such as more operating theatres, a new Pediatric wing, outpatient expansion, palliative care unit, training facility, etc. The existing infrastructure is also beyond its capacity and in desperate need of improved and expanded function.
Please consider joining this team and completing an important task in the next 100 years of this key hospital's history!
