Kwale County Receives Ksh 38.6 Million Investment in Healthcare

Over 177,000 residents in Kwale will benefit from a range of medical services following the launch of a newly renovated Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health(MNCH) facility and a free medical camp held by M-PESA Foundation.

At Msambweni County Referral Hospital, the Foundation invested Ksh 32.6 million towards expanding the post-natal ward and the Kangaroo room, creating dedicated areas for critically ill babies, such as a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and High-Dependency Unit (HDU), alongside separate nurseries for preterm and term babies (Nursery 1 and Nursery 2), setting up of the milking room, constructing a triage area and constructing washrooms for mothers in the post-Natal ward and Kangaroo room.

The newly upgraded Newborn Unit will increase bed capacity from 21 baby cots to 50 cots, increase daily deliveries and enable the centre to provide better services to more women.

Speaking during the launch, Safaricom Foundation Chairman,Joseph Ogutu,noted that health is one of the key pillars and since 2010, M-PESA Foundation has transformed the lives of millions of Kenyans through various initiatives.

“We continuously onboard partners, including county governments, to conduct various projects across the country, including the construction of new Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health (MNCH) facilities. We believe that by having enough modern mother and child facilities, we can eradicate maternal and infant mortality rates in the country,” he said

The Foundation also held a Ksh 6 million free medical camp at Jomo Kenyatta Primary School in Msambweni Sub County in partnership with Zuri Health, Checkups Medical Hub, the County Government of Kwale, and Lions Sight First Eye Hospital.

Over 2,500 residents benefitted from the camp, which marks the culmination of a week of activities in the Coast region as part of Safaricom’s Sambaza Furaha Christmas Campaign.

Some of the services offered at the camp included eye care consultations, breast and cervical cancer screening, Fistula screening, general doctor consultations, diabetes screening, hypertension monitoring and child health consultations.
