Uasin Gishu County has renamed the West Maternity Hospital to Mama Rachel Ruto Maternity Hospital in honor of Kenya’s First Lady.
The renaming follows renovations and expansions and was approved through public participation by local residents. First Lady Mama Rachel Ruto will officially commission the hospital on Tuesday in Eldoret.
Governor Jonathan Bii highlighted that the renaming recognizes the First Lady’s efforts to support women, girls, and children both in Uasin Gishu and nationwide.
Ahead of her visit, the county received a drugs consignment worth Ksh. 37 million from the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA). This consignment, which includes a variety of drugs, will be distributed directly to the 138 health facilities in the county, bypassing the initial drug store for immediate use.
Governor Bii emphasized the importance of this delivery, noting that it is a significant boost to the health of Uasin Gishu residents.
He also reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to enhancing the well-being of its citizens, mentioning plans to introduce drone technology to support the health system.
“This administration listens and cares, taking the lives of our residents seriously. It is the leadership they voted for,” Governor Bii stated.
