Kirinyaga County is set to revolutionize the emergency care system with the construction of a post-crash trauma centre at Sagana Subcounty Hospital.
The new facility under construction will provide rapid, life-saving treatment to accident victims mainly along the Kenol-Marua, Sagana-Kagio-Kutus and Makutano-Embu highways.
The project that is expected to be complete by the end of the current financial year is a transformative approach to emergency medical care and will improve the survival rate of trauma victims in the region.
Speaking while on a project assessment tour of the project, the County Executive Committee Member (CEC) for Health, George Karoki, said that due to the busy nature of our roads and many accidents that occur on our busy highways, a faster and more effective emergency response system has always been a need and that is what this facility has come to address.
