First Lady Margaret yesterday received the presitigious Fellowship of Honoris Causa Award from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) in South Africa.
The honorary accolade was in recognition of the First Lady’s commitment to end maternal and child mortality in Kenya besides her efforts to reduce mother-to-child HIV transmission under the highly innovative Beyond Zero initiative.
The Honorary Fellowships are the highest Awards by the RCOG and are given following a rigorous exercise of screening and vetting by the Council. Before receiving the Ward, a comprehensive citation about the First Lady described her as a person who carries herself with grace, determination, commitment, focus and passion especially when addressing the plight of women and children.
The citation was made by Dr Anne-Beatrice Kihara, President-Elect of the African Federation of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists . The First Lady thanked the RCOG fraternity for extending the top honours to her.
“I am proud to be received as a ‘Fellow Ad Eundeum’ of your illustrious institution. I am especially honoured because at the heart of this award is an implicit recognition of Beyond Zero initiative,” she said.
