Lamu Governor Issa Timamy has said the County Government of Lamu will set up a corporate outpatient unit at King Fahd Hospital to serve civil servants and corporate clients in a bid to boost the county’s healthcare system.

The dedicated unit will serve civil servants and corporate clients offering full range of expanded outpatient services including laboratory and comprehensive Pharmacy. According to Governor Timamy this will be a major boost towards enabling the hospital to become a level five health facility.

The facility will be launched by Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi on 12th July 2024 will not only serve to decongest the existing healthcare facility but will also ensure more complex health problems are handled locally.

Upon the opening of the unit, the facility shall run a free medical camp between 12th-14th July 2024.

The unit is being built using FIF (Facility Improvement Financing), a law that was enacted during Governor Timamy’s reign and will go a long way to boosting the hospital revenue to help expand other areas further.
