AMPATH has handed over an assortment of equipment to support health facilities in Elgeyo Marakwet.
The equipment, which comprised computers, furniture, and essential medical equipment were officially handed over on Thursday, August 27, 2026, in Iten during a brief ceremony attended by the agency’s Chief of Party, Prof. Sylvester Kimaiyo.
Elgeyo Marakwet Governor Wisley Rotich said his administration is proud of the long-standing partnership with AMPATH (Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare), a collaboration that continued to transform health standards in the county.
Under the Integrated Sample Referral System (ISRS), the County facilities are now being connected through a unified referral network, the governor added.
According to the governor, this means Elgeyo Marakwet will have faster and easier sample referral between facilities and real-time monitoring of turnaround times for every sample.
In his address, Rotich pointed out that his administration has already identified a dedicated team of riders assigned to specific routes for efficient transportation.
“I would like to thank AMPATH for this incredible boost. Together, we are building a stronger, more connected, and more responsive healthcare system for everyone,” the governor said.
Last month, AMPATH had also handed Uasin Gishu County equipment valued at Ksh 61 million. AMPATH has been a key player in healthcare within the North Rift region.
