For many families living in Waruku informal settlement, regular medical check-ups remain out of reach, contributing to a growing burden of non-communicable diseases and preventable maternal health complications.
In response, Westlands Level 4 Hospital, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Hurlingham, has rolled out a medical outreach programme offering free health services to vulnerable residents while strengthening the hospital's capacity through the donation of modern theatre equipment.
Health officials say the collaboration between the county government and the private sector is key to expanding access to quality healthcare, creating awareness on early disease screening, and improving maternal and child health services for underserved communities.
This partnership, they add, demonstrates how joint efforts can bridge healthcare gaps and bring essential medical services closer to those who need them most.
