PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS A BOOSTER DOSE FOR NANDI’S HEALTHCARE ECOSYSTEM
The core principle driving the goal of universal health coverage is to ensure that all individuals have access to comprehensive, high-quality health services that are affordable and easily accessible. The collective efforts by the County Government of Nandi and industry players is helping in taking accelerated steps to achieve these goals. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) represent new avenues of financing and operating for healthcare projects, thereby alleviating the strain on public funds.
As a response, Karebe Gold Mining Company in Chemelil/Chemase Ward in Tindiret Sub County is embracing the PPP model which has seen the company construct a new hospital facility at Kibisem Dispensary.
Yesterday, the CEC Member for Health and Sanitation hosted officials from Karebe Gold Mining Company. The discussions revolved around strengthening partnership with the company and the handover of the facility to the county government.
