Kerugoya Level Five County Referral Hospital will today be opened by President William Ruto.
According to Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru, the hospital will enable residents to get an array of specialized medical services within the county.
The five-storey ultra-modern complex was initiated by Waiguru’s administration with the aim of providing accessible and affordable high quality health services.
It is an accomplishment of the county’s development blueprint—The Mountain Cities 2032—which designates Kirinyaga Central constituency as the ‘Wellness City’.
Kirinyaga Health County Executive Committee Member George Karoki said some of the services that will be offered at the hospital include comprehensive outpatient and in-patient services.
He said the new hospital will ease pressure on Kerugoya Level Four Hospital with its inpatient capacity of 341 beds.
“Availability of a medical gas plant improves our county’s preparedness for any unprecedented high demand for oxygen as the one brought about by Covid-19 sometime back. We are now better prepared to handle patients requiring special treatment since we have a well-equipped ICU,” said Karoki.
