MULTI-STOREY HOSPITAL BUILDING IN KAPSENGERE IN THE WORKS
The County Government of Nandi has upgraded various hospitals and commissioned the construction of new centres to serve people seeking medical attention.
To help address critical infrastructure gaps and improve healthcare services, the County Government of Nandi is set to deliver a state-of-the-art hospital that will transform Kapsengere, a once rural locality of Terik Ward in an effort geared towards enhancing access to improved health services to residents living along the border. Ground works are underway to complete the facility, which is expected to reduce the cost of treatment in neighboring counties and contribute to Nandi county’s quest to become a medical hub.
The new hospital will not only boost access to healthcare in Kapsengere but will also attract patients from the region and beyond.
The modern hospital will encompass inpatient, outpatient, pediatric wards, theatres and causalities units with modern diagnostic equipment to enhance quality service delivery to the public at an affordable fee while boosting the facility’s revenue collection.
Earlier today, the CEC Members for Health and Sanitation, Finance and Economic Planning and the Terik Ward MCA led a team of Engineers for a site visit to the new Kapsengere Hospital to check on the progress of the facility.
“By embarking on this project to construct the new hospital, we are taking important strides towards building a more resilient and responsive healthcare infrastructure that will deliver much-needed essential healthcare services to communities that need them most, particularly the most vulnerable groups,” said Ruth Koech, the CEC Member for Health and Sanitation.
“Under the leadership of H. E Governor Sang, we committed to reaching this goal in our quest to expand the reach of healthcare services across the county,” she added.
On his part, the CEC Member for Finance and Economic Planning Hon Hillary Serem said “Investment in healthcare infrastructure is crucial to ensuring Nandi County’s prosperity. This is why we will ensure that this facility is completed the soonest so as to increase access to high-quality healthcare for underserved residents.”
Also present was the area MCA Hon Eliud Kirwa Maindi.
