The County Government of Nandi is putting up a new oxygen plant at the Nandi Hills County Hospital.
Deputy Governor Dr Yulita Cheruiyot on Tuesday, August 2, 2022, presided over the groundbreaking ceremony paving way for the start of the construction and installation works.
The Oxygen plant is being put up in partnership with John Hopkins Program for International Education in Gynecology and Obstetrics (JHPIEGO).
According to the Nandi County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Health and Sanitation Ruth Koech, the plant will significantly reduce the turnaround time for procuring and delivery of oxygen from 24 hours to less than one hour.
Upon completion, this high-yielding plant will complement the one already established and operational at Kapsabet County Referral Hospital to meet the demand for medical oxygen in our health facilities.
