NANDI COUNTY HANDS OVER METEITEI HOSPITAL PROJECT FOR CONSTRUCTION
The County Government of Nandi has taken a significant step toward improving healthcare access following the official site handover for the construction of the Meteitei Sub-County Hospital complex.
The project, valued at KSh 350 million, will be undertaken by the Ministry of Defence (MoD), marking a major milestone in the county’s efforts to strengthen healthcare infrastructure. The development follows resolutions made during a high-level meeting held on July 1, 2026, at the Office of the Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service, Hon. Felix Koskei. The meeting was led by Nandi Governor H.E. Hon. Stephen Sang alongside other county leaders.
Speaking during the handover, Chief Officer for Health and Sanitation Fredrick Kiptum Kosgei emphasized that the new hospital complex will significantly ease access to quality healthcare services for residents of Tinderet Sub-County, who have for years been forced to travel long distances to seek medical care in neighboring counties such as Kisumu and Kericho.
The Ministry of Defence has been tasked with supervising and executing the project, with expectations set for completion within a record six-month period. County leadership expressed confidence in the MoD’s capacity to deliver the facility on time and to the required standards.
Leaders present lauded the collaborative efforts between national and county governments, noting that such partnerships are key to accelerating development. They reiterated that Nandi County is on a transformative path, driven by unity of purpose and a shared commitment to improving the welfare of its residents.
Once complete, the Meteitei Hospital complex is expected to enhance healthcare delivery, reduce referral cases, and bring essential medical services closer to the people of Tinderet and surrounding areas.
