The team paid a courtesy call to the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Academic and Student Affairs, who expressed gratitude to Stanford for choosing MMUST for the project. He noted that the project will indeed impact MMUST Paramedical Science students on matters of emergency.
“This training will equip our students with advanced knowledge in handling of emergencies. It will help in reducing mortality rates and improve their mobility in response to the same,” said Mr. Arudo.

His sentiments were echoed by the COD Ms. Nyachio who also stated that their main goal is to write grant proposals for funding to support the project. Additionally, Ms. Phyllis Oduor pointed out that she is determined to see AR work in Kenya and especially at MMUST.
The training has been standardized to ensure the in person and the people observing are doing the same thing. A posttest training will be conducted to assess the effectiveness of the equipment in response to emergencies.
