In 1998, CURE International, in cooperation with the African Inland Church, opened the AIC-CURE International Hospital in Kijabe, Kenya. Along with being CUREâÂÂs first hospital, CURE Kenya was AfricaâÂÂs first orthopedic pediatric teaching hospital for children with disabilities. The 30-bed hospital provides care for children suffering from a wide range of orthopedic conditions, such as clubfoot, burn contractures, osteomyelitis, and other acquired or congenital conditions. The hospital also conducts mobile clinics to identify children in remote areas who can be treated at the hospital and to provide follow-up care for those who have received surgery. Located in the Rift Valley city of Kijabe, the hospital attracts patients from every region of the country. Through the training of surgeons, nurses, and healthcare professionals, CURE Kenya aims to improve the countryâÂÂs overall capacity to treat disabled children.POSITION OVERVIEW: Maintenance Coordinator coordinates the day to day operations for ongoing facility maintenance involving the repair of buildings, water systems, grounds, furniture, related non-medical equipment, and waste management at the hospital premises to ensure that they are in good and safe conditions at all times.
