The Coast General hospital has opened its ultra-modern 12 bed Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and three bed High Dependency Unit (HDU) for its patients.
The facility which has been renovated to an international healthcare standard, is fully equipped to provide high level critical care to adults and newborns.
It can also handle post-operative care for complex neurological and cardio-thoracic surgeries.
Governor Ali Hassan Joho said six units of the ICU and three units of HDU were done through the Managed Equipment Services Project, while the County government of Mombasa did other six.
''We have also hired a Critical Care Physician, four Medical Officers and ICU trained nurses dedicated to the ICU to enhance the level of care provided in the facility,'' Joho said, Monday.
''We will continue to provide a progressive, responsive and a sustainable healthcare system for the people of Mombasa,'' he added.
