Earlier on Wednesday, Lamu County Governor Issa Timamy EGH, OGW witnessed the signing of an MoU between the department of Medical Services and Nephromed (K) Ltd that will see Mpeketoni hospital get a new DIALYSIS UNIT.

The unit will ease the burden for patients with end-stage kidney disease who have had to travel a long distance to acquire the life-saving intervention at King Fahd Hospital.

The delighted Governor emphasized the importance of Public-Private Partnerships as a strategy to bridge financial gaps experienced by counties with very low exchequer allocation such as Lamu.
