GOVERNOR BARASA EXPANDS SURGICAL SERVICES AT IGUHU LEVEL 4 HOSPITAL

H.E. Governor Dr. Fernandes Barasa’s administration has completed the construction of a modern theatre at Iguhu Level 4 Hospital in Ikolomani Sub-County, marking another step in strengthening healthcare services and expanding access to essential surgical care across Kakamega County.

The facility will soon be equipped and operationalised, enabling the hospital to provide surgical services closer to residents of Ikolomani and surrounding areas.

For the people of Ikolomani, the new theatre means greater access to surgical care closer to home, reduced transport and referral costs, faster treatment and less disruption to families. It will also strengthen the hospital’s capacity to respond to surgical emergencies while reducing pressure on higher-level referral facilities.

The new theatre will increase the hospital’s capacity to handle surgical cases locally, allowing more residents to receive essential procedures within their community rather than travelling to distant facilities for care.

The investment is part of Governor Barasa’s continued focus on upgrading health infrastructure and expanding access to quality, affordable and reliable healthcare services across Kakamega County.
