A health facility that was shut down several years ago in Mumias West has been brought back to life through a partnership between the Kakamega County Government and the Rotary Foundation.
The Craig Memorial Nyapora Health Centre in Mumias Central Ward is now operational and serving residents from Mumias West Sub-County and neighbouring areas.
Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa said the transformation of the facility demonstrates the impact of partnerships in improving access to healthcare, particularly in areas where communities have long faced challenges accessing medical services.
Barasa spoke after hosting a team from the Rotary Foundation led by Dr. Adeyami Oladokun, which visited the facility to review the progress of the project and assess its impact on the local community.
The Governor said the county would continue working closely with the Rotary Foundation to address emerging needs at the facility and support efforts to improve healthcare delivery across the county.
He said the partnership had provided an opportunity to turn an abandoned project into a functional health facility, bringing essential services closer to residents.
Barasa said the county government would also continue seeking more partnerships with development organisations to complement its investment in health infrastructure and expand access to quality healthcare services.
