In a major boost to healthcare delivery, the County Government of Uasin Gishu on Wednesday received a consignment of vital medical equipment from AMREF Health Africa, aimed at strengthening the county\u2019s capacity to provide quality and efficient patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The donation, which includes state-of-the-art patient monitors and oxygen analyzers, will be distributed to key health facilities such as Burnt Forest Sub-County Hospital, Moi Bridge Hospital, Chepkanga Health Centre, and Chepkigen Health Centre, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking while receiving the equipment, Uasin Gishu County Executive Committee Member for Health Services, Joseph Lagat, lauded AMREF for its continued partnership and unwavering support in improving healthcare services across the county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chief Officer for Promotive and Preventive Health, Dr. Paul Wangwe, emphasized the importance of such collaborations in achieving sustainable healthcare outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe equipment will not only improve patient monitoring and emergency response but will also support preventive and promotive health programs through accurate data and timely interventions,\u201d said Dr. Wangwe.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

On their part, Dr. Sarah Mwangi from the Ministry of Health and Mr. Titus Kiptai from AMREF Health Africa noted that the donation reflects AMREF\u2019s ongoing commitment to strengthening healthcare systems in Kenya, particularly at the grassroots level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAccess to reliable medical equipment is key to saving lives,\u201d said Kiptai. \u201cWe are proud to support Uasin Gishu County in advancing health equity and quality care for all.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The initiative forms part of AMREF\u2019s broader mission to enhance healthcare infrastructure and build capacity within local communities\u2014ensuring that no patient is left behind due to a lack of essential medical tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
