Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has announced the completion of the Modern Theatre Complex at Matunda Subcounty Hospital in Kiminini Sub-County.

“I am pleased to announce that the Modern Theatre Complex at Matunda Subcounty Hospital in Kiminini Subcounty has been fully completed and is now ready for equipment installation, ahead of its official commissioning to serve our people,” Natembeya said.

According to Governor Natembeya, the new facility is designed to enhance the delivery of specialised healthcare services in the region.

“This state-of-the-art facility comprises four fully equipped surgical theatres and a 10-bed Intensive Care Unit (ICU), designed to support advanced surgical procedures and the management of complex and critical medical cases,” he stated.
