THIKA LEVEL 5 GOES HITECH (PHOTOS)

Kiambu County Government has started buying the latest life support machines. Technology will help  to provide our citizens with the most timely best possible service in order to save lives.

Quality healthcare in safe environments will ensure high-quality, high-value health care facilities and use of ICT in the delivery of health services.

Thika Level 5 Hospital intends to spend sh.179m for some facelift of the hospital facilities in this financial year.. When complete, the hospital will boast of an ultra-modern laboratory, dental and renal departments and a modern ICU unit.

This will include a new renal department with five dialysis machines to cater for kidney patients, an ICU unit, a sh.30m laboratory and dental departments.

Ksh.16m has also been set aside to improve on its general outlook. Part of this money has been allocated for the replacement and disposal of its  old asbestos roofs which are known to cause cancer.

The improvement of these facilities is meant to ease congestion within the various units of the institution as well as improving the working conditions of its staff. This will eventually trickle down to enhancing service delivery and increasing the scope of its services. Recently, the hospital managed to get its first skin specialist.

Thika Level 5 Hospital plays hosts to patients from Thika Sub-County along with the neighbouring counties Murang'a, Gatundu Sub-County, Ukambani and Nairobi due to its proximity.
