Expectant mothers in Marakwet West are set to benefit from improved maternal healthcare services following the commissioning of a new maternity wing at Chebiemit Sub-County Hospital.
The facility, constructed in partnership with the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SUOMI Finland), was officially opened by Elgeyo Marakwet County Governor Wisley Rotich.
The state-of-the-art maternity unit comprises an eight-bed prenatal and antenatal ward, an equipped delivery area, and advanced medical equipment, including newborn incubators and a phototherapy machine for treating jaundice and other skin conditions in newborns.
Additionally, the facility is outfitted with an Electro Cardiogram (ECG) machine for heart condition monitoring and a sterile wave machine for safe and environmentally friendly medical waste disposal.
