In a major boost to Uasin Gishu’s healthcare sector, Governor Dr. Jonathan Bii has officially launched the construction of Moiben Sub-County Hospital, fulfilling his Nguzo Kumi manifesto pledge to establish specialized healthcare centers in every sub-county.

Speaking during the site handover to the contractor, Dr. Bii reaffirmed his commitment to making health a top priority. “We want every resident to access quality, specialized services close to home, and this project must be completed on time,” he emphasized.

The Governor also urged the contractor to provide job opportunities to local residents, ensuring that the project benefits the community beyond healthcare.

County Health Executive Committee Member Eng. Joseph Lagat and Finance counterpart Micah Rogony pledged close cooperation with both the contractor and the community to fast-track the project’s delivery. Eng. Lagat further encouraged residents to register with the Social Health Authority (SHA) to fully benefit from the upcoming services.

The contractor committed to completing the facility within a year, setting a new benchmark for infrastructure delivery in the county.

Once complete, the hospital will feature:

Ground Floor: Outpatient services, emergency wing, and radiology unit

First Floor: Operating theatres, wards, paediatrics, and administration offices

Second Floor: Private and general wards

Third Floor: Laundry facilities and a children’s playground

The Moiben facility is set to transform healthcare delivery in the region, marking a major milestone under Dr. Bii’s transformative leadership.

In attendance were County Executive Committee Member for Roads Dr. Abraham Serem, Chief Officer for Economic Planning Nathan Korir, and MCAs Hillary Kipchumba (Moiben) and James Serem (Karuna/Meibeki).
