Mothers will no longer have to visit Thika Level 5 hospital to deliver their babies. It will thus ease the pressures at the Level 5 facility as well as easing access to health care for residents,' Wamatangi said.Residents led by Paul Mwangi welcomed the facility saying it will boost access to health care in the area. They called on the county government to make the services affordable to the residents since most of them are low-income-earners.'We will no longer have to travel to Thika L evel Five Hospital to seek treatment. We hope it will offer all the services at affordable cost because we have suffered for long,' said Everlyn Nyambura, another resident.Source: Kenya News Agency
