Happy with the progress of our *Kiunga Health Centre* projects following my inspection visit today.

The *RADIOLOGY UNIT* is *90%* complete while the *OPERATING THEATRE* is at *60%*

We are determined to have these two revolutionary projects operationalized before March 2026.

*Pregnant mothers* who require *C-section* (Operative birth) have to endure a grueling 4 – 6 hour journey to access these services at King Fahd Hospital.

Governor Timamy has prioritized the Kiunga HC projects as part of his efforts to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.

I am also elated at the prospect of partnering with *Kenya Red Cross* to have a brand new *FEMALE WARD & NEW BORN UNIT* at Kiunga Health Centre.

I was accompanied by Kenya Red Cross Lamu Branch Coordinator Mr. Abdulhakim Abdul and members of our technical teams.
