Ruto Vows to Continue Trans Nzoia Hospital Upgrade

President William Ruto has assured Trans Nzoia County residents that the KSh1 billion upgrade of their Level 5 hospital will continue uninterrupted.

The project, launched last Friday, had been delayed due to opposition from Governor George Natembeya, according to the President.

Project Details

  • The 300-bed hospital will have 32 ICU and High Dependency Unit beds
  • Four theatres, emergency and outpatient departments, radiology and laboratory facilities
  • Maternity and newborns wings, and surgical wards

The hospital is expected to be completed in eight months, expanding access to specialised healthcare services and easing pressure on neighbouring hospitals.
