Description
The Nyamira County Referral Hospital upgrade project aims to elevate the facility to a fully equipped Level 5 hospital. The project includes construction of a modern theatre complex, an intensive care unit (ICU), expanded outpatient department, maternity wing upgrade, and a new laboratory. The county government has invested significantly in medical equipment procurement and staff recruitment. Previously, patients requiring specialized care had to travel to Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital or Kenyatta National Hospital in Nairobi, creating financial hardships for the predominantly rural population.
