We are proud to celebrate Kenneth Rintaari, an alumnus of the Aga Khan University School of Nursing and Midwifery, East Africa, on the publication of his book, Beyond the Symptoms.

A paediatric nurse at Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi, Kenneth has turned his professional experiences and personal reflections into a thought-provoking self-help book that looks beyond the challenges we see on the surface of an illness and explores causes for it.

Beyond the Symptoms is a testament to Kenneth’s passion for helping others understand life’s challenges from a deeper perspective.

Congratulations, Kenneth, on this remarkable achievement! Your journey and accomplishments continue to inspire the AKU alumni community and make us proud.

Our newest medicine and nursing students at Aga Khan University's Kenya campus have officially donned their white coats – and with them, a promise: to lead with compassion, hold fast to ethics, and pursue excellence in everything they do.

The White Coat Ceremony is more than a welcome. It marks the moment these future doctors and nurses take on something profound: the trust of every patient who will one day be in their care.

We were proud to be joined by Dr Ibrahim Matende, President of the Kenya Medical Association and Sister Esther Mwangi, CEO of St. Francis Community Hospital as Chief Guests. Professor Lukoye Atwoli, Dean of the AKU Medical College, East Africa and Professor Eunice Ndirangu, Dean of the Aga Khan University School of Nursing and Midwifery, together with AKU President Dr Sulaiman Shahabuddin and Provost Professor Tania Bubela shared words of wisdom and encouragement.

To the Class embarking on this journey: the training ahead is rigorous, and the community around you is cheering you on. We can't wait to see the difference you'll make.
