Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has officially opened the Mama Margaret Uhuru Hospital (MMUH) in Korogocho, Nairobi county.
The 548-bed capacity hospital, recently transferred from the National Government to the Nairobi City County Government, is now one of the largest healthcare facilities in the county.
Speaking to locals during the unveiling, Sakaja emphasized that the hospital will cater to both Korogocho residents and the wider Nairobi city population.
He assured the community of continued high-quality services, dismissing concerns that the transfer might negatively affect the hospital’s performance.
County Executive Committee member for Health Susan Silantoi echoed the governor’s sentiments, stating that this move aims to enhance healthcare services across Nairobi.
Sakaja said that the hospital will be equipped with opticians and ophthalmologists to address the eye conditions affecting patients in the city.
Similarly, there will be a paediatric wing to deal with complications and illnesses in children of Nairobi County.
