Uasin Gishu District Hospital will benefit from a refurbishment at a cost of sh10.9m.This follows a Memorandum of Understanding signed between the County Government of Uasin Gishu and UAP old mutual group in 2017.The agreement was reached on Wednesday, January 24, 2018 at the County Headquarters when a delegation from UAP and a contractor met with the project technical team during the handing over of the facility.The renovation of the old serving hospital's laboratory and the maternity wing is estimated to take twelve weeks before its completion. Chief Officer Health Services Wilson Kemei who is also the chair of the project technical team said it was a new dawn for the locals since the facility will become the County's laboratory diagnostic centre after renovation."You have the County's full support and we are assuring you of maximum security the moment you kick start the work" said Kemei."We are also looking forward to seeing quality work at the end of the project. H.E governor Jackson Mandago doesn't entertain shoddy work" he added. UAP's Regional Director Daniel Mwangi noted that the partnership was a great deal for the residents since after renovation there will be a good environment for patients seeking medical services."Apart from renovation of the two major areas, we will also give priority to staff toilets as well as the doctors and nurses boardrooms" said Mwangi.
