The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) will, from next week, camp in Kakamega to supervise the construction of a Level 6 hospital and to complete it within a period of six months.
Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa welcomed the National Government's intervention and collaboration with the County government to complete the Hospital, whose construction stalled three years ago.
Governor Barasa said the County government has allocated Sh300 million to top up the Sh500 million that the National government has committed to complete the facility.
The 750-bed Hospital is expected to provide jobs to 5,000 people, promote medical tourism and provide learning and practical exposure to medical students.
