Bungoma County is set for a significant transformation in its healthcare sector following Governor Kenneth Lusaka’s announcement of a KSh 250 million state-of-the-art hospital in Webuye. This new facility aims to improve healthcare access and alleviate the burden on the existing Webuye Sub-County Hospital.
Speaking during a live interview on Sulwe FM, Governor Lusaka emphasized that the project is a result of strategic collaborations and partnerships aimed at boosting the county’s healthcare infrastructure. “This new facility will greatly improve healthcare services for our residents and help decongest the existing Sub-County Hospital,” Lusaka stated.
The proposed hospital will be equipped with modern medical technology and specialized services to cater to the increasing healthcare demands of Webuye residents and the greater Bungoma County. The governor reiterated that the facility would enhance service delivery by introducing advanced diagnostic and treatment options, ensuring patients receive high-quality medical care close to home.
Webuye has been grappling with a growing population and increasing medical needs, making the expansion of healthcare services a top priority for the county government. The Webuye Sub-County Hospital, which has long served as the region’s primary healthcare facility, has faced challenges such as overcrowding and limited resources. The upcoming hospital is expected to ease these challenges and provide much-needed relief to medical personnel and patients alike.
In line with Governor Lusaka’s commitment to strengthening the county’s health sector, the new hospital will be part of a broader plan to modernize healthcare services, improve maternal and child health, and enhance specialized medical treatments. The county government has also pledged to recruit and train additional medical staff to ensure the facility operates efficiently.
Residents of Webuye have welcomed the announcement, expressing optimism that the new hospital will bring quality healthcare closer to the people and reduce the need for long-distance travel to access specialized treatment.
Governor Lusaka reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to healthcare improvement, stating that the county will continue seeking more partnerships to advance medical services in Bungoma. With the construction of the new hospital set to commence soon, Webuye residents can look forward to a brighter and healthier future.
