TAWA HOSPITAL PERFORMS FIRST C-SECTION AFTER EQUIPMENT UPGRADE

Residents of Tawa and its surrounding areas can now breathe a sigh of relief following the installation of a new anaesthesia machine at Tawa Sub County Hospital by the county government.

The modern equipment was procured after the hospital’s previous machine broke down, a setback that had limited the facility’s capacity to handle critical procedures.

Its impact was felt almost immediately. On Sunday, doctors at the hospital conducted their first successful caesarean section since the installation, marking a major milestone for the facility.

Health Services Chief Officer Dr. Harvey Mulei said the upgrade has significantly eased healthcare delivery in the region, noting that patients in need of specialised services will no longer be forced to travel long distances to the county referral hospital.
