    President William Ruto presided over the upgrading of Mkongani Health Center to a level 4 Hospital, official opening of the operating theatre, General Ward and commissioning of the new X-ray block.
    The face-lifting and the new projects initiated by Kwale County government are expected to ease the burden of the residents to travel in search of specialized treatment and medication.
    The Mkongani level 4 Hospital will now be conducting specialized consultant services for over 1500 expectant mothers monthly, intervening at an early stage of pregnancy further reducing the mobility and mortality of pregnant mothers.
    The facility that has a catchment of over 10,000 residents in eight villages including; Mkongani A, Mkongani B,Vumirira,Goyo among others will now perform major surgical procedures such as cesarean sections, hernia repairs, and appendectomies.
    Having a theatre and medical officers in Mkongani Hospital means surgical interventions will be managed onsite without referring to Kwale Hospital that is 40 kilometers away.
