Ndoinet Dispensary in Kiptororo Ward, Kuresoi North sub-County has been feted for provision of quality maternal, child and adolescent healthcare services.
The United States Agency for International Development, through Afya Uzazi, said the facility had improved immunization coverage, antenatal services and skilled deliveries.
While receiving a recognition trophy and certificate, County Minister for Health Dr Gichuki Kariuki said the County commitment in providing quality and affordable primary healthcare services.
The trophy is awarded quarterly on a rotational basis to a health facility that shows improved and best results in terms of maternal and child health services provision.
“The County is in the process of upgrading health infrastructure, a move that will see each sub-County have at least a Level 4 Hospital,” stated Dr Gichuki.
The County has employed 295 healthcare workers across various cadres while 100 doctors were recently promoted and medical insurance enhanced, all aimed at having a productive workforce.
One of the newly employed healthcare workers was posted at Ndoinet Dispensary. Dr Gichuki added that all health facilities have enough of the required drugs depending on the level.
Afya Uzazi Chief of Party Dr Marsden Solomon said the program would continue to work with the County Government of Nakuru in strengthening health capacity and service delivery.
