🏢 A Dream taking shape....
Today was one of the moments that define progress for Mwai Kibaki Referral Hospital as we witnessed the official hand over of the site for the construction of the Proposed Mwai Kibaki Clinical Tower.
The project, whose first phase is valued at 500Million, will deliver a modern 120-bed facility designed to significantly enhance healthcare service delivery. The clinical tower will host specialist outpatient clinics, a modern pharmacy, advanced laboratory services, imaging and a blood unit and is expected to be completed within nine months.
The handover ceremony was led by the Board Chair. Gen. (Retd.) Robert Kibochi and attended by Board Members, the Ag. CEO - Dr. Mûirûrí, the Area MP- Hon. Wambûgû Wainaina and the MKRH staff.
The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), led by Brig. Sokobe, officially received the site before handing it over to the contractor. The KDF team will provide, oversight, supervision and project management to ensure timely and quality delivery. Notably, the KDF, has previously supported the hospital through the drilling of a borehole, significantly improving water supply within the facility.
The Board Chair noted that the project is a key milestone in the hospital's strategic plan and a critical step towards advancing Universal Health Coverage. The Area MP expressed satisfaction in seeing the project come to fruition and reaffirmed continued support.
We look ahead to the next nine months with confidence, excitement and a shared commitment to delivering quality healthcare for all.
