Description

The Sabatia Sub-County Hospital upgrade is part of Vihiga County's health infrastructure improvement program. The project includes construction of a new maternity wing, a modern surgical theatre, expanded outpatient department, laboratory upgrade, and staff housing. Sabatia is one of the most densely populated sub-counties in Kenya, and the hospital serves as a critical healthcare facility for the area.

The project is funded through county health budgets and national government conditional grants.
