Governor Alex Tolgos said on Saturday the Mother and Baby Centre is expected to be completed in six months and will ease congestion at maternity wards at Iten County Referral Hospital. He said it will be the largest and most modern health facility in the region. The two-storey facility will have 80 beds in eight maternity wards, an operating theatre, ICU units and other facilities. The groundbreaking ceremony for the new facility was presided over by Governor Tolgos, county assembly health committee chairman Sharach Lulley and Cherang'any Chebororwa MCA Tich Cheboi. It will also help put up hospital wards at Kapcherop and Chesoi Health Centres, in Marakwet West and East subcounties, respectively.
