Fifty five acres of land was donated for the construction of the clinic, the laboratory and pharmacy which we want to eventually become a hospital. A building that will serve as the clinic has already been set up. We have a dug pit latrines and basic on site residential quarter has been put up. A borehole that will supply water has already been sunk and we have already installed the needed pipes to deliver water to the clinic. Though the pump and power are yet to be installed to enable us start pumping the water.
Better health is crucial for the happiness and wellbeing of people. It also makes an important contribution towards economic development. With the various challenges facing the community it is central that their health is given a priority. Increase in the number of health facilities that are well equipped and have qualified personnel who can cater to the community’s medical needs. The medical services offered should be in line with the pastoral lifestyle of the community. This will ensure the best way of disseminating the services according to their various unique wants and needs.
