The Murang'a County Government has launched and equipped a state-of-the-art physiotherapy and occupation therapy that is set to revolutionize health care services for patients with physical illnesses and disabilities.
The Sh20 million centre was launched alongside male, female and children inpatient wards at the newly completed Kigumo Level 4 Hospital block, Kigumo constituency.
The hospital has lacked inpatient services since its establishment in 1961; thus the launch comes as relief to patients requiring extended medical attention who would previously make long trips to Nairobi or Murang'a town to access these services.
During the launch of the centre, over 100 beneficiaries with disabilities received wheelchairs and other assistive devices like walking frames, crutches and walking sticks to ensure improved mobility so as to enhance their quality of life.
