We know that there is already a children’s hospital under New Nyanza General Hospital, but the catchment area is so big that it cannot cope with the number of patients getting to New Nyanza General Hospital. So, we do need a women’s and children’s hospital in Kisumu. We are happy that we have put up a modern and reasonably big mother/child hospital in Eldoret to serve the North Rift part of the country. Other parts of the country need mother/child hospitals as much as Eldoret. In the case of Kisumu, steps are underway to ensure that a women hospital is put up."}
