HEALTH CECM LEADS SUPERVISION MISSION AT MAKINDU HOSPITAL, PLEDGES SERVICE IMPROVEMENTS

The County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Health Services Joyce Mutua on Wednesday led a supervision mission to Makindu Sub-County Hospital, aimed at assessing operational challenges and reaffirming the department’s commitment to enhancing service delivery.

Makindu Sub-County Hospital serves patients from across the region, including neighbouring counties of Machakos, Kitui, and Taita Taveta. The facility is particularly known for handling a high number of accident-related fracture cases, making it a critical referral centre for trauma care.

In a major boost to healthcare services, the hospital is set to introduce dialysis services, a development that will ease the burden on patients who previously had to seek the service in Wote or at Kenyatta National Hospital.

The CECM, accompanied by Chief Officers Dr. Harvey Mulei (Human Resource) and Irene Makau (Health Services), commended the hospital staff for their dedication and tireless efforts in ensuring patients receive quality care despite few existing challenges.

She reaffirmed the county’s commitment to strengthening the facility to meet the growing demand for specialized and efficient healthcare services.
