The Opportunity

A Need for Quality Equipment from a Reliable Company

As a faith-based hospital, AIC Kijabe Hospital strives to provide compassionate, high-quality healthcare to Kenya's most vulnerable residents. The hospital is known for its high quality of care, and many patients will wait months to undergo surgical procedures. One of the greatest challenges for the Kijabe Hospital team is finding a trustworthy provider to meet their equipment needs.

Our Solution

Affordable Products from Trusted Professionals

The AIC Kijabe team knows that safe, affordable medical equipment plays a vital role in saving patient lives. The hospital performs over 200 operations per month, and dependable equipment is essential. The prospect of sourcing equipment for one of Kenya's top hospitals is not easy, even for veteran doctors with decades of experience. They must balance the desire for the latest cutting edge medical equipment with pressing budgetary constraints.

Since 2010, Avante Health Solutions has become a trusted resource for Kijabe Hospital. With a convenient location in Louisville, Kentucky (USA), Avante has supplied the hospital with respiratory ventilators, patient monitors, surgical lighting, infusion pumps, and other key items. Dr. Peter Bird, Dr. Burton Lee, and the rest of the Kijabe team know they can trust their dedicated Avante Account Executive, Amanda Cannady, to provide them with the highest level of support and service. For over seven years, Amanda has worked with the Kijabe team to help ensure that Kenya's residents receive the highest quality of care.
