Maseno (A.C.K) Mission Hospital has urged the public to turn up for an ongoing free and voluntary medical male circumcision for those above the age of 10 years.
Mr.Joshua Kwendo Amburi, the amenity's public relations officer at the hospital has said willing men yet to undergo the noble exercise are encouraged come out. He also asked parents to take their male children over 10 years old to the health facility for the free medical exercise and not to wait for closure of schools as it is being conducted on a daily basis.
Mr.Amburi has also confirmed the accreditation of the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) cards to cater for outpatients' medical bills and urges more people to take up the comprehensive health cover.
"Circumcision has been there before,we should now embrace modern medical male cuts in order to avoid health risks," Amburi said while addressing some of the patients at the facility on Monday, 5th October 2015.
In response to Mr.John Mutava's question on why the facility decided on a minimum age of 10 years, Mr.Amburi said children of a lesser age are always demanding for more attention after the exercise and since schools are open, they would prefer to have the younger male children brought by their parents during the December holidays.
The exercise shall be conducted for a period of 12 months.
