Uasin Gishu County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Health Services Dr Sam Kotut on Wednesday visited Turbo Sub-County Hospital to assess the efficiency and safety of the facility.
The assessment exercise is currently underway across all the health facilities in the County, which aims to upgrade health facilities and equipment to ensure efficient, quality, and timely medical attention as far as the health safety of the residents is concerned.
Speaking during the visit, the County Executive noted that Governor Jonathan Bii’s administration has put in place strategies to build additional health facilities and renovate the old ones to ensure a better environment and give adequate treatment to the people of Uasin Gishu.
“We want to operationalize the theatre in Turbo-Sub County to reduce the congestion in the MTRH, where major surgeries are handled, and allow minor ones to be operated on from this hospital, among others that we have identified,” said Dr Kotut.
He further promised to ensure prompt service delivery to the residents, enough staff to reduce the workload, and provision of an extra ambulance to ease the referral process to patients who need better and quick attention from the facility as he pledged to give full in the enhancement of the health sector.
On his part, Member of The County Assembly (MCA) for Tapsagoi Ward Nickson Bitok thanked the Health Department for the good work and encouraged the health service providers to work as a team to see Governor Bii’s administration deliver on this noble course.
The team also visited the proposed construction site for the level 5 facility in Tiret.
