He notes that the national government in conjunction with the county government have upgraded most dispensaries in the area to health centres, offering much-needed services.
"The long journey to seek healthcare is no longer necessary, with the upgrading of Ndaragwa Health Centre," said Wanjohi.
Speaking to The Sunday Standard, Lucy Wanjiru from Gathara Ward in Kinangop, shares Wanjohi's sentiments. She says providing medical care for her family, including her children was an uphill task.
However, she notes that the improvement facilitated by devolution has been immense.
Nyandarua was one of the counties without a referral hospital, with JM Kariuki Hospital in Ol-Kalou being just above a Level Three facility.
Now, the county with the assistance of the National Government has embarked on the construction of Sh1.4 billion Mashujaa complex at the JM Kariuki Hospital.
According to the County Executive Member for Health, Dr James Mungai, the 500-bed capacity hospital, which is 70 per cent complete, will be a game changer in provision of quality healthcare.
Dr Mungai says apart from the ongoing construction, which is expected to be complete by December, the county government has upgraded other health facilities across the county.
"Governor Kimemia's administration has invested heavily in health infrastructure. Upgrade of JM Kariuki Hospital is key to all residents as it will be a Level Six facility," says Dr Mungai.
He adds that in its current state, the hospital has an operational Intensive Care Unit (ICU), CT scans, ultrasound machines and a blood bank.
Governor Francis Kimemia says he has set a firm foundation in the health sector. Kimemia, who regards infrastructural development in the healthcare sector as key among his flagship projects, says the county has also upgraded Engineer Hospital in Kinangop into a Level Five facility.
"In conjunction with the National Government, the hospital in Engineer ward is being upgraded at a cost of Sh600million. It will be complete in a month's time. We have also constructed 22 new health facilities across the county," says Kimemia.
He notes that although his administration inherited a 'limping health sector', the county government is turning the corner by constructing and equipping health facilities.
"We have hired about 600 health workers and recruitment for more staff is ongoing. We now have specialists that we did not have before," says the governor.
The county has also embarked on the construction of a Sh100 million Communicable Disease Control Centre at Gwa Kiongo in Mirangine ward.
