As the world marks Nurses Week 2025 this month, communities across Kiambu County came out in their numbers to honor the dedication, compassion, and resilience of the profession that has offered to mankind over the years.
The event this year, themed "Nurses Making a Difference," was graced by Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi, county health officials, representatives from the National Nurses Association of Kenya, and medical students from various institutions in the county.
Nurses from across the county shared moving personal experiences, highlighting both the rewards and emotional toll of their profession, thus calling for improved working conditions, better staffing, and investment in continuous professional development.
Speaking at the event, Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi pledged to provide more hospital beds in public health facilities in the county, especially in the maternity sections, where there was an acute shortage. "I'll do my best to balance the health care services around Kiambu and make it the best." He remarked.
