Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has said that the county will have its first Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
Sakaja said there is significant progress in the installation of the NICU.
"We’re at advanced stages of installation of our first NICU," the governor said.
"Our first NICU will be at Mbagathi Hospital where we recently opened a new New Born Unit."
Sakaja said soon, the mothers will no longer be in distress in the case of emergencies after childbirth.
On May 31, Sakaja visited Mbagathi Hospital which had recently been renovated and equipped with a newborn unit.
He rolled out an agenda to equip all hospitals in Nairobi with human resources, drugs and equipment to enhance service delivery to the residents.
While touring the facility, Sakaja emphasised his mission to transform the health sector and position it as one of his key deliverables as governor as he promised Nairobians during his campaigns.
"I am committed to transforming and modernising county health facilities for the provision of affordable and quality healthcare services to Nairobi residents," he said.
"I am impressed with what we have done here so far even as we look forward to scaling up this unit in three more facilities in Nairobi."
