The County Government of Machakos has something to boast about after Machakos Level Five Hospital laboratory received the globally recognised ISO certification.
While speaking to Kenyans.co.ke, Machakos Governor Dr Alfred Mutua said the new achievement is a great success to the health care sector as the public will be able to get quality medical services from the institution.
“Machakos Level Five Hospital laboratory has become the first county-owned laboratory to acquire the ISO status,” Mutua said as quoted by Kenyans.co.ke.
He noted that many people were forced to go to private hospitals to get services that require the prestigious certification pointing out that the ISO certification will make the hospital ideal for the public to get services from.
“The status award means that laboratory results from Machakos Level Five laboratory can now be accepted by any health facility worldwide. This can be a good avenue to create an association with major health providers in the world for the benefit of Machakos people and others seeking health services,” Mutua noted.
The Governor also assured locals that he looks forward to seeing all hospitals offering services throughout this holiday season and this will be achieved by rewarding the health officers who will work during this season.
“All our workers will receive overtime allowances for the sacrifice they will be giving in working during the Christmas and new year period,” stated Mutua.
