COUNTY GOVERNMENT DELIVERS FREE HEALTHCARE TO CHEPSONOI MARKET THROUGH BEYOND ZERO INITIATIVE
In a powerful demonstration of its commitment to accessible healthcare, the County Government of Nandi, through the Beyond Zero clinic, today took free medical services directly to the residents of Chepsonoi Market in Kapkangani Ward, Emgwen Sub County.
Led by the County Department of Health, the outreach brought together a dedicated team of healthcare professionals from Kapsabet County Referral Hospital and Kapkangani Health Center. The team included medical doctors, clinical officers, nurses, public health officers, community health promoters, and paramedics – all deployed by the county government to ensure residents received quality consultations and treatment at no cost.
The outreach reflects the unwavering commitment of H.E. Governor Stephen Sang’s administration to leave no one behind. By driving the Beyond Zero program to even the most remote markets and villages, the county government continues to turn its vision of universal health coverage into a lived reality for the people of Nandi.
Residents of Chepsonoi and surrounding areas turned out in large numbers to benefit from services that included general check-ups, maternal health screenings, and health education. Community health promoters, a critical pillar of the county’s primary healthcare strategy, played a key role in bridging communication gaps and providing follow-up guidance on disease prevention.
The successful camp was further strengthened through collaboration with Justice Kigen Medical Center, reflecting the county government’s broader effort to forge partnerships between public health systems and private institutions in service of the community.
Officials present noted that the overwhelming turnout underscored the high demand for healthcare in the region and reaffirmed the county government’s resolve to sustain such outreaches as a regular part of its service delivery agenda.
