Siaya County Referral Hospital has received a consignment of medical equipment aimed at improving maternal and newborn care, in a boost expected to strengthen emergency obstetric and neonatal services.
The donation, made through the Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) programme under the Pregnancy Risk, Infant Surveillance and Measurement Alliance (PRISMA) study, includes neonatal resuscitators, infant warmers, pulse oximeters, space heaters and digital thermometers.
Speaking during the handover ceremony, County Chief Officer for Health Dr Samuel Omondi said the equipment would help improve the quality of care offered to mothers and newborns, especially those requiring emergency interventions immediately after birth.
