Marsabit County, Kenya
In a significant development aimed at improving healthcare services, the Marsabit County Government, in collaboration with the Marsabit Water and Sewerage Company (MARWASCO), successfully upgraded and operationalized the water line at the Marsabit Referral Hospital. The project involved replacing the existing 1-inch pipe with a new 2-inch High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, with the primary goal of increasing water discharge and enhancing efficiency in water provision at the County Health Facility.
The project was inaugurated today by the Marsabit County Chief Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Health, Grace Galmo Boru, alongside the Marsabit Referral Hospital CEO , Kusu Abduba, and the Managing Director of MARWASCO, Stephen Sora Katelo. The joint collaboration between the County Government and MARWASCO underscores the commitment to improving the quality of healthcare services and infrastructure in Marsabit County.

Furthermore, it will significantly enhance water provision at critical points within the healthcare facility, including operating theatres, wards, kitchens, laundry facilities, showers, toilets, the waste zone, and the mortuary.
