Kapkures Health Centre in Kapkures ward is one of the Level 3 healthcare facilities in Nakuru County giving outpatient services to the largest population of over 27,000 people in Kapkures, Ingobor, Barut, and surrounding areas.
The Director for Health Dr. Joy Mugambi while visiting the facility Tuesday said Kapkures Dispensary was exceptional in providing maternity services giving highly personalized care to an average of at least 30 mothers per month ensuring each patient receives the attention she needs.
She noted that to support maternal and child health, the maternity unit is seamlessly connected to the Child Welfare Clinic (CWC), providing continuous care for both mothers and their children.
She further observed that one of the greatest achievements of counties was the obvious improvement of maternal and child health that has continually improved the quality of services.
To further enhance the services, Dr. Mugambi said the Department would help the facility improve the physical space to put some order to every corner with better filing systems and organized spaces to ensure a more efficient and welcoming environment for all.
A resident of the area Julius Rono said the change at the Kapkures Health Center has not only been of help to mothers and children, but also to the elderly who used to walk long distances to get healthcare.
He added that the facilities, and especially the beds, is something that was only noticeable at the private hospitals, and having them in such a rural area was highly appreciated.
