The United States company General Electric has announced a two-year partnership to train Kenyan doctors and technicians in echocardiography.
The Kenya Cardiac Society, the local partner, will host 40 Kenyans for six-month courses. Echocardiography is a technique that visualises the heart through ultrasound.
Announcing the deal on 4 May GE said that the training will boost overall cardiac treatment in Kenya, which it says has only 60 cardiac specialists.
