Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has opened a new dispensary in Kiandai, Kiine ward, in Ndia Constituency.

The facility will serve around 6,000 people from the ward, making it a valuable resource and a significant step towards the achievement of Universal Health Coverage in the county.

It will save beneficiaries the agony of travelling up to 5 km to either Sagana or Baricho, which are the nearest health facilities.

The dispensary will offer services such as maternal and child welfare and laboratory and pharmaceutical services, thus reducing morbidity and mortality in the area.
