NYANDARUA DELEGATION BENCHMARKS MAKUENI’S DIGITAL AND MATERNAL HEALTHCARE INNOVATIONS

The Government of Makueni County on Wednesday hosted a high-level delegation from Nyandarua County for a benchmarking visit at Makueni County Referral Hospital, as counties continue to embrace knowledge sharing in strengthening healthcare systems.

The delegation, led by Nyandarua CECM for Health Juliana Tsinanga alongside Chief Officers and Medical Superintendents, toured the facility to learn about governance and administration of the Level 5 hospital, management of clinical services, maternal healthcare and specialized treatment areas including oncology.

A key area of interest was the Proximie technology, an innovative digital health platform enabling doctors at Makueni County Referral Hospital to remotely guide, train and support other health facilities in clinical procedures and specialized care.

Makueni CECM for Health Services Joyce Mutua noted that the benchmarking visit provided an opportunity for health professionals from both counties to exchange knowledge and strengthen service delivery systems aimed at improving patient care.

Nyandarua Health Services CECM Juliana Tsinanga applauded Makueni for its strides in digital health and maternal healthcare, particularly efforts that have contributed to reducing maternal mortality linked to Postpartum hemorrhage. She also commended the county’s openness, collaborative approach and innovative strategies in retaining healthcare workers within the system.
