Kapteldon Sub-County Hospital is on the cusp of a major healthcare milestone as Governor Dr Jonathan Bii Chelilim prepares to officially commission a fully equipped X-ray unit—an investment set to significantly strengthen diagnostic services for residents of Kapseret Sub-County.

The state-of-the-art facility, now ready for launch, marks a critical step in enhancing access to quality, timely, and affordable healthcare at the Sub-county level. Once operational, the X-ray unit will eliminate the need for patients to travel long distances to referral hospitals for imaging services, easing both financial strain and logistical challenges for families.

County health officials have lauded the project as a game-changer, noting that it will improve early diagnosis, support accurate treatment, and enhance emergency care particularly for accident victims, expectant mothers, and patients living with chronic illnesses. The unit is also expected to ease congestion at major referral hospitals by decentralizing essential diagnostic services.

The upcoming launch underscores the County administration’s commitment to investing in modern medical equipment, upgrading health infrastructure, and promoting equitable access to healthcare across all sub-counties.

Residents of Kapteldon have welcomed the development, terming it a long-awaited intervention that will transform service delivery and improve health outcomes in the area.

With the X-ray unit set for commissioning, Kapteldon Sub-County Hospital is poised to enter a new era of enhanced diagnostic capacity reaffirming Uasin Gishu County’s people-centred healthcare agenda under the leadership of Governor Dr Jonathan Bii Chelilim.
