Kisumu County Government has unveiled an ambitious plan to upgrade Kisumu County Referral Hospital (KCH) and three other health facilities, after the National Government elevated Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTRH), to a National Referral Hospital and a state parastatal.
County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Medical Services, Public Health and Sanitation, Dr.
Gregory Ganda, said the county will redirect the Sh. 1.2 billion previously allocated for running JOOTRH towards strengthening other health facilities in the area.
The targeted hospitals include Kisumu County Referral Hospital (KCRH), Ahero Sub-County Hospital, Kombewa Sub-County Hospital, and Nyabondo Trauma Centre. "We are now in a position to expand and modernise our county hospitals to better serve residents.
