Infection prevention and control (IPC) remains central to patient and worker safety. Following global outbreaks, Kenyan facilities maintain higher baseline PPE stock while seeking cost-effective, quality-assured products.
Key PPE categories
- N95/FFP2 respirators for aerosol-generating procedures
- Fluid-resistant isolation gowns (AAMI Level 2–3 where appropriate)
- Nitrile examination and surgical glove assortments by size
- Face shields, goggles, and full-face protection for splash risk
Stocking strategy
Move from crisis hoarding to par-level management: define minimum and maximum quantities by ward, review monthly usage, and rotate stock to prevent expiry waste. Bundled ward kits simplify nursing station replenishment.
Consolata supplies PPE alongside ward disposables and disinfection products. See our hospital & home healthcare supplies service line.
