Donation of Non - Pharmaceuticals to Health Facilities in Migori county

In a commendable collaborative effort, Mama Agnes Ochilo Foundation, in partnership with Migori County Health Department and Equity Bank Foundation, took a significant step towards safeguarding the well-being of healthcare workers and enhancing the quality of healthcare services in the region. The invaluable donation of Non-Pharmaceutical Healthcare Equipment, totaling Ksh. 7.3 Million, was delivered to various health facilities across Migori County.

The distribution of these crucial healthcare items was launched with great enthusiasm at Awendo Sub-County Hospital, with Mama Agnes Ochilo herself gracing the occasion as the Chief Guest of honor. This symbolic event marked the beginning of a transformative journey that will greatly benefit healthcare providers and the communities they serve.

At the heart of this generous initiative is the prioritization of healthcare workers’ safety and improvement of healthcare services. The Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) donated, including masks, gloves, gowns, face shields and other essential items, play a pivotal role in safeguarding the dedicated healthcare professionals who are at the frontline of the battle against diseases.

These much-needed supplies will significantly minimize the risk of exposure to hazards that can cause serious workplace injuries and illnesses among healthcare workers. The global Covid 19 pandemic underscored the importance of ensuring that healthcare providers have access to adequate PPE and this donation is a vital step in the right direction.

The Ksh. 7.3 Million worth of assorted healthcare equipment is set to be distributed equitably across all eight Sub-Counties within Migori County by the end of the business day. This approach ensures that healthcare facilities in every corner of the county will benefit from this substantial contribution.
