The Cabinet Secretary for Health, Aden Duale, has visited Balambala Sub-County in Garissa to inspect the construction progress of the Balambala Sub-County Hospital, which is expected to boost healthcare services in the region.
The 150-bed capacity hospital is currently 70% complete and is expected to alleviate the burden on residents who previously had to travel long distances to seek medical treatment.
Speaking during the tour, CS Duale announced that the facility will be upgraded to a Level 5 Hospital upon completion.
The hospital will offer a wide range of services, including outpatient and inpatient care, surgeries, maternal and neonatal services, as well as diagnostic services.
The CS emphasized that the project is part of the government’s commitment to ensuring accessible, quality healthcare for all citizens, contributing to the realization of the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) agenda.
