H.E. Gladys Wanga, the Governor of Homa Bay County, oversaw the successful installation of five state-of-the-art dialysis machines at the Homa Bay County Teaching and Referral Hospital. This important upgrade significantly expands the hospital's capacity to provide critical care to patients with renal conditions. The addition of these new machines raises the hospital's capacity to serve up to 21 dialysis patients per day, a notable increase from the previous capacity of 6 patients. This enhancement is poised to alleviate the strain on the hospital's resources and effectively minimize the backlog of dialysis sessions.

Furthermore, the introduction of these advanced machines means that the hospital's monthly patient sessions have soared from 130 to an impressive 360. This monumental increase directly translates to a substantial reduction in session backlogs, mitigates associated health risks, and most importantly, holds the potential to save numerous lives within the community. Governor Wanga's proactive approach to improving healthcare infrastructure underscores her unwavering commitment to providing top-tier medical services to the people of Homa Bay County.

Governor Wanga expressed her firm resolve to ensure that residents no longer have to endure long waits or lengthy travels to access specialized medical care. This significant development is an integral part of the county's broader strategy to bolster the hospital's capacity and elevate the standard of healthcare services provided to the local community. In addition to this groundbreaking initiative, the County Government of Homa Bay is actively working to make chemotherapy treatment readily available for cancer patients and is dedicated to expanding the pool of medical specialists, including the recruitment of more oncologists. Governor Wanga's leadership and vision are poised to bring about positive and tangible improvements in the healthcare landscape of Homa Bay County.
