The highly anticipated Kapsengere Hospital, a significant healthcare infrastructure project in Terik Ward is on track for completion.
With an impressive over 60 per cent of the construction already finalized, the hospital’s progress was on Wednesday assessed during an inspection visit by the Nandi County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Health and Sanitation Ruth Koech.
Expressing her satisfaction on the progress made, the CECM stated that the enhanced facility aims to cater to the needs of the local population.
She further emphasized its alignment with community requirements, expressing the importance of enhanced health service provision and modernization.
With the completion of the new building, it is set to emerge as a modern healthcare institution of great significance within Terik Ward.
The new hospital will have increased space for patient care, improved privacy, and advanced medical technology to meet rising demand for services.
Mzee Bor, a resident of Kapsengere, said the new hospital is a positive development.
He said the only medical facility they had in the vicinity was Serem Health Centre which is always overwhelmed by patients, forcing many people to resort to the neighboring counties of Vihiga and Kisumu.
“To get to Serem health center, meant travelling for several kilometres away. The new hospital will solve this problem,” Bor said.
The Health County Executive later made an impromptu visit to Serem Health Center to check on the service provision at the facility.
