To date over 3,000 heart procedures have been performed courtesy of the support from well-wishers. Most of these surgeries were done at Mater Hospital by Kenyan doctors, with a few being referred overseas or done by visiting Cardiologists. The Mater Heart Run was started in 2002 as one of the main fundraising avenues for the Cardiac program. Initially held only in Nairobi, the Heart Run has grown over the years and is now held in TEN (10) different towns namely; Nairobi, Mombasa, Machakos, Kakamega, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Nyeri, Kericho & Bomet.
In 2008, the Hospital started free cardiac outreach screening camps all over the country to screen for heart ailments and educate the community about the acquired heart disease, which is preventable, but could lead to death if ignored.
