Siaya County has begun a Sh2 billion upgrade of the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Stadium and the expansion of Siaya County Referral Hospital.
At the referral hospital, the county government launched construction of a new inpatient block valued at Sh500 million, part of a Sh1.7 billion plan to turn the facility into a modern, three-wing hospital complex.
The county has allocated Sh300 million for the project this financial year.
Once completed, the hospital will have 500 beds and integrate with the already completed surgical theatre to provide specialised care. Defence Cabinet Secretary Soipan Tuya noted the project will make Siaya a hub for advanced healthcare in the region. "The new facility will provide specialised care, create jobs for our young people, and deliver better healthcare for the people of Siaya.
