Residents of Ngong, Kajiado County, now have access to crucial medical testing following the launch of a modern laboratory at Ngong Sub-County Hospital.

Previously, patients faced long journeys and high costs for specialised tests. Hospital Superintendent Faith Masenge stated that the facility will be a game-changer, especially for expectant mothers and patients with chronic conditions.
