Head of Presidential Delivery Unit Andrew Wakahiu inspects hospital beds made by Mungai Gathogo and Joseph Muhinja in Kiambu. [Maxwell Agwanda, Standard]Two young innovators behind locally manufactured hospital beds have a reason to smile after government placed an order of 500 units. Mungai Gathogo, 26, and Joseph Muhinja, 35, are based in Githunguri, Kiambu County and used locally available material to make standard hospital beds. Wakahiu added that the beds would be subjected to the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) protocols on their suitability for hospital use. The bed features standard hospital design, including a reclining frame, height adjuster and a retractable serving extension.
