Bungoma County Set to Construct Sh65 Million Modern Maternity Wing

Bungoma County has announced plans to build a Sh65 million ultra-modern maternity wing at Makhonge Health Centre in Kimilili Constituency, aimed at improving access to maternal and neonatal healthcare services.
The project seeks to provide better facilities for mothers and newborns, addressing the county’s need for enhanced healthcare infrastructure in underserved areas. The county government says the initiative aligns with its commitment to improving health outcomes for residents, particularly women and children.
The announcement has sparked mixed reactions from residents on social media, with some praising the development as game-changing , while others questioned why existing facilities, such as the mother and child hospital built in Wangamati, have not been fully equipped before starting new projects.
The maternity wing is expected to bring modern healthcare services closer to local residents, reduce maternal and infant mortality, and improve overall health service delivery in Kimilili Constituency.
