KENYA GOVT. TO CONSTRUCT MULTI-SPECIALITY FACILITY AT REFERRAL HOSPITAL

The government is set to construct a modern 2,000-bed multi-specialty facility at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in the Kiplombe area, as part of ongoing reforms aimed at enhancing access to quality and affordable healthcare in the country.

Speaking in Eldoret during a tour of the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Health Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha said the designs of the facility are ready with the government seeking a proper financing mechanism to kick off the project.

CS Nakhumicha said this project will place the MTRH on a sound pedestal in her contribution to the achievement of Universal Health Coverage for the Kenyan people.

In addition, the CS said the Ministry of Health will assist with equipping and staffing two hospitals whose construction is expected to be completed in the next one and a half years.

“The Ministry of Health will address the budgetary needs raised by MTRH Management to ensure MTRH meets all her Staffing, Training, Equipment, and other needs,” said the health CS.
