Lamu Governor H.E Issa Timamy EGH, OGW has opened a new maternity wing at Maisha Masha dispensary in a move to boost primary health care in rural areas.

Speaking during the official opening of the maternity wing on Friday in Witu Ward, Governor Timamy said the maternity wing is a great milestone in his quest to ensure residents have access to healthcare services.

The governor who was accompanied by his Deputy HE Raphael Munyua, Health CECM Dr. Mbarak Bhajaj, CECMs and other County top officials, the Governor observed that with good primary healthcare at the dispensaries there would be less congestion at higher health facilities, thus giving them a chance to deal with more complex health matters.
