NEW MEDICAL EQUIPMENT BOOST

Technical, administrative, and procurement teams from the hospital and Laikipia Health Service inspect part of newly delivered consignment of medical equipment, marking a significant milestone in the continued strengthening of healthcare services through county support.

The over 80 million shillings equipment will enhance service delivery across key departments, including the Outpatient Department, general wards, ICU, maternity services, and theatre units, supporting the establishment of a more comprehensive, standalone mother and child care suite under one roof.

Also included are specialized equipment to support and expand the scope of neurosurgical procedures, significantly expanding the hospital’s surgical capability and enabling more complex interventions to be undertaken locally. More investments in diagnosis are coming up.

This investment represents a critical step in the sustained buildup of clinical capacity, helping to redefine the scope of services that can now be delivered within the facility. It is expected to ease pressure on high-demand service points such as the shared theatre and reduce the need for external referrals.

Overall, the development reinforces ongoing efforts to improve access to specialized healthcare closer to the community.

NURSES WEEK CLIMAX AT NTRH

Today, NTRH marked the climax of Nurses Week celebrations, bringing to a close a week-long tribute to the dedication, compassion, and invaluable contributions of nurses to healthcare delivery.

H.E. Governor Joshua Irungu, EGH joined the health leadership and nursing fraternity in commemorating the occasion, reaffirming the County Government’s commitment to continued investment in healthcare, particularly in strengthening the health workforce and improving working conditions for frontline staff.

Drawing inspiration from the legacy of Florence Nightingale, whose service during the Crimean War of the 1850s demonstrated the transformative power of nursing on wounded soldiers’ survival, the celebrations highlighted the profession’s enduring values of selflessness, leadership, compassion, and patient-centered care.

The event also provided an opportunity to address key issues affecting the profession, including staffing gaps, workforce welfare, mentorship, career growth, and the importance of constructive engagement with union leadership in building a stronger healthcare system.

As the backbone of healthcare, nurses leave their fingerprints across every level of the health system — from prevention and emergency care to recovery, advocacy, and community health.
The celebrations further underscored the growing role of nurses in healthcare leadership and decision-making, while honoring their unwavering commitment to service.

Accompanying the Governor were LHS CEC Hon. Albert Taiti, Chief Officer Dr. Timothy Panga, NTRH CEO Dr Sammy Kilonzo, County Officials, members of the hospital management team, and the wider nursing fraternity.
