Health services in Nairobi are expanding

Nairobi was for a long time the epitome of inadequate and inefficient healthcare services. Due to poor planning, other economic activities were given priority at the expense of the wellbeing of Nairobi residents.

However, since inception, the Nairobi City County Government has invested heavily in the provision of healthcare, health infrastructure, medicines and personnel. The climax of these efforts came when we hired 226 health sector workers last week who cut various across various specialities, from nurses to medical specialists. The new health staff will complement the 211 health workers appointed under the Economic Stimulus Programme, bringing the total to 437 appointments.
