The County Government of Uasin Gishu’s efforts to improve healthcare has realized a push-up following the coming in of the African Health Collaborative at Moi University, in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation.

The partnership comes to bolster the deliberate efforts of Governor Dr. Jonathan Bii’s administration. The partner organizations conducted a monitoring and evaluation tour of key health initiatives in Uasin Gishu County, signalling a positive impetus in the health sector.

The visit assessed progress under programs spanning Health Employment, Health Ecosystem and Health Entrepreneurship—initiatives aligned with the county administration’s agenda to expand opportunities and enhance service delivery in the health sector.

The delegation was led by Principal Investigator Prof. Kere and Dr. Faith Yego, and received by Director of Medical Services Dr. Evans Kiprotich, Deputy Director of Clinical Services Crisspus Massam and Project Coordinator Collete Chirchir.

Discussions centered on milestones achieved, including the development of short courses, the training of Community Health Promoters (CHPs), and mentorship in research and financial management.

The team later toured Kapsoya Health Centre to evaluate implementation progress and review evidence-based practices being adopted at the facility.

The officials noted that county government support has fostered an enabling environment for partnerships that directly empower frontline health workers and improve community health outcomes.

The visiting delegation commended the collaboration between Moi University and the Mastercard Foundation, crediting the Bii administration with cultivating a supportive ecosystem for innovation, skills development and youth employment in healthcare.

They underscored the importance of sustained investment and close coordination between the county and its partners in positioning Uasin Gishu as a model for integrated, people-centered health transformation.
