Old meets new

Mombasa hospital, located in Kenya, is utilizing both old facilities and modern equipment from Dräger Medical to provide the best possible care for their patients. The hospital staff is faced with the challenge of limited resources and outdated facilities, but they have found ways to make the most of what they have.
For example, they have retrofitted older buildings with solar panels to provide power for Dräger medical equipment such as ventilators, anesthesia machines and patient monitors. Additionally, the hospital has made investments in Dräger's latest diagnostic and treatment equipment such as imaging machines and laboratory equipment.
The staff at the hospital has also been trained to use these new Dräger technologies, allowing them to provide higher quality care to their patients. Despite the challenges, Mombasa hospital remains committed to delivering the best possible care to the community they serve with the help of Dräger Medical's advanced technology.

For our new images, we want them to have a strong identification potential for our expert target group.
These images should be:
Authentic and not artificial
Reflective of the daily routine of our target group, rather than idealized
Credible and not overdone
Lively, but not staged
We are looking for a journalistic approach in our photography, taking into consideration factors such as lighting, shadows, image sharpness, and camera angle to capture the true essence of our hospital and the work that we do.
Dräger is an international leaderin the fields of medical and safety technology
The family-owned company was founded in Lübeck, Germany, in 1889. Over the past five generations, Dräger has evolved into a publicly traded, worldwide group. ›Technology for Life‹ is the guiding philosophy. Whether in the operating room, in intensive care or emergency response services,
Dräger products protect, support and save lives.
The project was a success, resulting in thousands of images delivered to the client. These images have been used for social media, print, and websites all over the world. As a bonus, the hospital and its staff were also able to use the images for their respective areas.

Hot and Heartbreaking: A Journey Through Mombasa Hospital

Photographing a hospital in Mombasa, Kenya, was a truly enlightening experience.

From the moment I stepped foot inside the bustling facility, I was struck by the vibrant energy and sense of community that pervaded the halls.

The medical staff were incredibly welcoming and allowed me to capture the intricate details of their daily routines, from conducting surgeries to tending to patients. The hospital's architecture was also a highlight, with its striking blend of traditional and modern design elements.
Overall, my time at the hospital in Surat was a valuable and enriching experience that I am grateful to have had as a photographer. I am excited to share these photographs with others and to continue exploring the world of healthcare through my lens - Josef Eliasson
