MAKING PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH SAFER WITH UPGRADED MATERNITY WINGS
The County Department of Health and Sanitation envisions a county where all women, newborns, and children survive, are healthy, and able to develop and reach their full potential, contributing to the development of their communities.
The County Government of Nandi has since constructed and upgraded a number of maternity wings across the six sub counties. The upgraded facilities – which included refurbishment, medical equipment and supplies, as well as training of staff – aimed at providing quality health care for mothers and children.
“Over the recent past, we have significantly reduced the rates of maternal and child mortality. As a Department, we are proud of this progress, resulting from prioritized public health interventions by the County Government of Nandi. With sustained support from our partners, I am confident that we can further improve maternal and child health indicators, towards the 2024 targets,” says Fredrick Kiptum, the Chief Officer for Health.
