Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has officially commissioned the Samburu Blood Satellite Centre at the Samburu County Referral Hospital, marking a significant milestone in the region’s healthcare system.
The newly commissioned blood centre, fully equipped with critical blood processing technology makes Samburu County self-reliant in blood services.
It is expected to greatly strengthen emergency care by ensuring timely, locally available blood and transfusion solutions.
The CS also launched the Digital Health System in Samburu County.
So far, 516 digital devices have been delivered, 38 trainers engaged, and 172 healthcare workers trained to enhance their capacity in using the technology.
The devices will be deployed to 108 public health facilities, improving access to patient data and streamlining service delivery.
These two landmark initiatives are pivotal in accelerating the realization of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) under Kenya’s Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
