Jumuia Kaimosi, Huruma Expected to Open Soon.

The National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) is gearing up for the grand official opening of its first two fully -fledged Jumuia hospitals by end of this year. The premier facilities – Jumuia Friends Hospital Kaimosi and Jumuia Hospital Huruma-  are currently  undergoing major renovations, that will see them transformed into  80-bed and 90-bed modern hospitals respectively, complete with state-of-the-art equipment. The 4-month upgrading exercise is funded by the Council’s financial partners.  

Once complete, Jumuia Friends Hospital Kaimosi is expected to revolutionize health care in the larger Western region especially in Vihiga county that currently lacks a reliable and affordable modern hospital. The modernization of the hospital follows a take-over agreement signed early last year, by the NCCK and the facility’s former management, Friends United Mission.

Similarly,  Jumuia Hospital Huruma that has operated for years as a clinic, will come as good news to those living in Huruma and its catchment area.  

The  two facilities are part of the  wider 20 year business plan by NCCK, to provide quality and affordable health care in the country through her subsidiary, Jumuia Hospitals Chain.  The plan which is based on the Indian model, will see the Council establish satellite hospitals across the Country. The hospitals will refer patients to a super-specialty referral hospital expected to be constructed in Limuru in the next few years.
