Residents of Vihiga County will no longer need to travel to Kakamega or Kisumu for critical diagnostic services following the commissioning of a state-of-the-art digital X-ray machine at Itando Mission Hospital.

The Sh3.5 million equipment, donated by the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) Foundation, is expected to ease the burden on patients who have long struggled with high costs and long distances in search of X-ray services.
