The Kilifi County Government has begun equipping its Level Four health facilities with modern radiology equipment.
This comes as big relief to patients, who previously had to seek such services outside the county.
Governor Gideon Mung'aro stated that the new equipment aims to provide a wide range of radiology services, reduce costs and travel time for patients, and increase access to specialised diagnostic services for county residents.
Mung'aro said he had committed to equipping Kilifi, Malindi, Mariakani, and Marafa Level Four hospitals, as well as the Mtwapa Health Centre, with modern CT scan machines.
