CEC Member for Public Health and Medical Services, Hon. Grace Osewe, held a strategic engagement with the Facility Management Committee of Muga Jwelu Dispensary, reaffirming the County Government of Homa Bay’s commitment to revitalizing and operationalizing health facilities to better serve communities.

The meeting brought together community leaders and stakeholders, including members of the Rotary network, following a commitment by the Rotary Club of USA through the Rotary Club of Kisumu to support the facility’s completion and infrastructure improvement works. Proposed support areas include fencing, painting, electricity connectivity, water reticulation and solarization.

The discussions also focused on key interventions required to make the facility fully functional, including staffing, equipping, operationalization, medical supplies, training for personnel and the hospital management committee, support for Community Health Promoters, strategic planning and development of a collaboration framework.

Muga Jwelu Dispensary, which has remained stalled since 2022, serves over 10 villages and is expected to play a critical role in improving maternal and child health outcomes in the area. Stakeholders emphasized the urgent need to establish maternity services and strengthen ANC and immunization uptake amid rising default rates.

Hon. Grace Osewe commended the community for their initiative, unity and determination to restore the facility, assuring them of the County Government’s support in engaging development partners, facilitating approvals and certifications, and strengthening healthcare investments aimed at improving service delivery across Homa Bay County.

The County Government of Homa Bay, in partnership with the National Government, the Council of Governors (CoG) and Lwala Community Alliance, has launched a transformative eye care initiative aimed at expanding access to reading glasses and strengthening community-based eye health services across the county.

The program will provide free near-vision glasses to vulnerable residents, strengthen referrals for specialised treatment, and train healthcare workers, Health Facility Champions, Community Health Assistants and Community Health Promoters across Levels 1, 2 and 3 to enhance early detection and management of eye conditions at the community level.

Globally, over 2.2 billion people live with vision impairment, while 1.8 billion experience presbyopia — an age-related condition that affects near vision. This initiative is therefore a timely intervention geared towards reducing avoidable visual impairment and improving quality of life for our people.

The rollout will also leverage integrated medical outreaches to increase awareness, screening and access to care, while reinforcing the County Government’s commitment to Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and the Primary Health Care (PHC) agenda.

This morning County Government of Homa Bay, in collaboration with Bright Dada CBO and Signify Foundation — the CSR wing of Phillips — is rolling out an initiative to improve lighting systems across 25 health facilities, by installing energy-efficient LED lighting to enhance visibility, conserve power, and create safer, well-lit environments for both patients and healthcare providers.

Better lighting means improved quality of care, especially for critical services like maternal health and night deliveries, while also strengthening safety within and around our facilities.

Through targeted Obstetric Safe Surgery Training, we equipped multidisciplinary teams comprising surgeons, anesthetists, and midwives, with both the technical precision and critical non-technical skills needed to safely manage cesarean sections and obstetric emergencies.

Strengthening the frontlines of maternal care closes the gaps by improving surgical safety, enhancing team coordination, and ultimately saving the lives of mothers and newborns.

Yesterday Hundreds of residents turned up for the Integrated Inreach at Amuono Health Centre, receiving a wide range of services, from medical care and social support to critical interventions in mental health, drug and substance abuse recovery, family planning, and Antenatal Care (ANC), the inreach also facilitated referrals for complex cases to higher level facilities.

Complementary services, including agricultural education, civic education, and voter registration, further enriched the impact of the initiative.

This forms part of our broader strategy of conducting general and specialized inreaches and outreaches, deliberately bringing essential healthcare services closer to the communities where they are needed most and reaffirms our unwavering commitment to ensuring that every resident has access to the highest quality healthcare.
