Lokitaung sub-county Hospital in Turkana North has opened its first operating theatre and eye clinic.
The project, implemented by the County Government of Turkana in partnership with Spanish Eye Doctors through Missionary Community of St Paul Apostle (MCSPA) under the Turkana Eye Project, includes two operating theatres, one minor theatre, six-bed pre-operation and six-bed post-operation.
Governor Josphat Nanok said the operating theatre is expected to reduce the number of surgical-related referrals and minor ophthalmic ailments to Lodwar County Referral Hospital.
Communities from neighbouring countries will benefit from the facility.
