Uasin Gishu: Residents of Kabobo, Soy and surrounding areas have been urged to seek healthcare services at their local facilities following a comprehensive support supervision exercise led by the County Executive for Health Services, Janet Kurgat.
The visit to Kabobo and Soy Health Centres focused on assessing service delivery, strengthening the quality of care, and engaging frontline health workers as part of the county’s ongoing efforts to enhance accessible and people-centred healthcare.
Speaking during the supervision exercise on Tuesday, January 5, 2026, CECM Kurgat reaffirmed the county government’s commitment to providing 24-hour maternity and medical emergency services.
She ne noted that both facilities are well positioned to serve surrounding communities day and night.
“We want our people to know that quality healthcare is available close to them. These facilities operate 24 hours for maternity and medical emergencies, and our health workers are ready to serve,” the CECM said.
Chief Officer for Promotive and Preventive Health, Dr Paul Wangwe and Director of Medical Services, Dr Evans Kiprotich accompanied the county minister during the inspection.
Which services are offered at Soy and Kabobo health centres?
The two health centres offer a wide range of essential services, including outpatient care, child welfare clinics (CWC), postnatal services, Antenatal Care (ANC), family planning, general consultations, laboratory services, and fully stocked pharmacies.
Patients can also access Social Health Authority (SHA) services, helping to ease the cost burden of care and improve service uptake.
Dr Wangwe emphasized the importance of promotive and preventive health services, encouraging early health-seeking behaviour and routine clinic visits to prevent complications.
“Early diagnosis and continuous care save lives. We urge residents to utilize services such as ANC, postnatal care, family planning, and child welfare clinics available at Kabobo and Soy Health Centres,” he said.
The leadership team also engaged with health workers, reviewing service gaps and providing guidance aimed at improving efficiency, patient experience, and accountability.
The Department of Health Services has called on residents to fully utilize Kabobo and Soy Health Centres, assuring them of professional care, essential medicines, and reliable round-the-clock emergency services.
With strengthened supervision and renewed commitment from county leadership, the two facilities, like all the others, contribute to the overall agenda of bringing quality, affordable healthcare closer to the people.
