The County Government of Kakamega has commissioned the Craig Memorial Enyapora Health Centre in Mumias Central Ward, Mumias West Sub-County, in a move aimed at strengthening access to quality healthcare through strategic partnerships.
The commissioning was led by H.E. Governor FCPA Fernandes Barasa and Dr. Kim Baxstar, the lead Rotary international Partners, together with health officials, representatives of Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST), and the Rotary Clubs of Kakamega and Busia.
The health facility, which had previously been defunct, has been refurbished, equipped, and furnished to serve residents of Mumias and surrounding areas.
As part of the initiative, a Resource Centre for MMUST students pursuing Nursing and Optometry has been completed to support training and research. The County Government has seconded medical personnel and taken over the operation of the facility for public use. The centre has also been fitted with a solar power system capable of meeting up to 80 per cent of its energy needs, enhancing sustainability and reducing operational costs.
Under the same partnership, the Eye Department at Kakamega County General Hospital has been equipped with modern optical equipment. To support the installation and effective utilization of the equipment, the County Government has completed a new Consultations Unit, improving service efficiency and easing congestion within the department.
In his address, Governor Barasa said the County Government would continue building impactful partnerships to deliver quality, accessible healthcare for all residents.
During the event, the Governor also oversaw the issuance of title deeds for the hospital land and neighbouring beneficiaries within the estate, securing ownership and supporting orderly development.
Also present were MCAs led by Hon. Ali Okomba,Prof. Hussein Golicha with MMUST delegation, county executive committee members led by CECM Dr. Livingstone Imbayi,and community leaders.
