Members of the Kirinyaga County Assembly have directed the County Executive Committee Member (CECM) in charge of Medical Services, to allocate additional resources towards refurbishment of the only Mental Health Unit in the County at Kerugoya Referral Hospital.
Through a Motion, which was tabled by the Health Committee Vice Chairperson Grace Kamau, Members were apprehensive that failure to allocate additional resources and personnel at the facility would be detrimental to hundreds of patients who visit the facility monthly.
According to Ms.
Kamau, the facility served 525 outpatient clients in the Month of April this year alone, pointing to the need for the County Government to upgrade the facility with utmost urgency.
