The Fire Safety and Burns Awareness Week 2023 with the theme ‘Moto rafiki mwaminifu, adui hatari’ came to a close last week Friday with a fire drill at Electricity House, Nairobi, and a walk from Nairobi CBD that culminated at KNH. Various stakeholders then met for the closing ceremony held at the Administration Block grass lawn area.
Director Surgical Services Dr. Kennedy Ondede, the Chief Guest at the event, said the Hospital was committed to increasing capacity through collaboration with like-minded partners. “The KNH management and more so the CEO is committed to increasing capacity through collaborations like the one we are witnessing today. I wish to also call upon regulatory authorities to ensure that access roads especially in the slums are available to ensure lives are saved whenever fire accidents occur,” he said.
Bramwell Simiyu, Chief Officer Disaster Management & Coordination, Nairobi County said the devolved unit was determined to control incidents of fire outbreaks. “As a county, we should not be judged by how many fires we have managed to contain, but by the number of fire accidents that we have prevented,” he said while representing the Nairobi County Governor, Johnson Sakaja, CBS.

Burn Society of Kenya, Kenyatta National Hospital with their affiliates Crisis Control East Africa Kenya Power Pension Fund Kenya Power Care St John Ambulance Kenya Red Cross Society disaster management Unit Ethnomed Healthcare Inc Africa Fire Mission Officially Launch the 2023 Fire Safety and Burns Awareness Week at KNH.

Dr. Shaban Saidi, Chairman Burns Society of Kenya in his speech compared burns to a disease affecting the poor. "This is a poor man’s disease. It’s the people in the slums who are affected the most. That’s why we are here as volunteers to try and help curb this problem,Burns wounds can't be treated for just a year,it could take up to 10 years plus to treat it " he said.
Dr. Benjamin Wabwire the Head of Plastic and Reconstructive Unit at KNH said the treating Burns sounds is very expensive . "It is very expensive to treat burns. We did a study recently to establish how much it costs to treat one burn patient and it is very expensive," he said.

Kenya Power Regional Manager in his speech said "The major problem and cause of fire in informal settlements is illegal connections of Electricity."

Also Speaking at the event Dr. Kennedy Ondede - Director Surgical Services, encouraged stakeholders to remain professional and "have very deliberate plans going forward, recruit as many people as you can, and push the agenda so that you can be seen to occupy your rightful place in service delivery and policy direction in the country," he said while representing the KNH CEO.

Burns Awareness Week is held Annually with the aim of creating awareness in communities to reduce the number of Fires and Burns cases in the country. Dr Shaban shared in his speech the estimated number of Burns cases reported this year as of May is 75,000 cases and more cases are expected. In 2022 the number of cases reported was 168,000 and 2021 177,000.

With the initiative to curb this at the Source BSK and Stakeholders will be making community visits across Nairobi County to educate and impact knowledge to the society.
