Kitui County has received a significant healthcare boost following the delivery of medical supplies worth Ksh 28 million from the Mission for Essential Drugs and Supplies (MEDS). The consignment includes a range of drugs and non-pharmaceutical items such as medication for non-communicable diseases (NCDs), painkillers, antibiotics, and essential medical equipment, marking a transformative step in the county’s healthcare service delivery.
The supplies will be distributed across the county’s 14 hospitals to ensure consistent availability of essential medical resources. Chief Officer for Drugs and Medical Supplies, Aggrey Kamba, highlighted the county administration’s dedication to improving healthcare access and quality.
“This delivery is a testament to the dedication of Governor Dr. Julius Malombe’s administration to the health and well-being of Kitui residents. It aligns perfectly with the governor’s manifesto, which prioritizes reliable and accessible healthcare services,” Kamba stated during the handover.
Governor Malombe’s leadership has been instrumental in strengthening the county’s healthcare infrastructure. His administration has prioritized equipping hospitals and ensuring that even residents in remote and underserved areas have access to timely medical care.
The supplies are expected to address critical shortages in the county’s health facilities, improve patient outcomes, and reduce the need for costly and time-consuming referrals.
This milestone underscores Kitui County’s commitment to enhancing healthcare services and delivering on promises to uplift the health standards of its residents.
