Governor Joseph Ole Lenku has flagged off Sh53 million worth of medical supplies to sub-county health centres as Kajiado marked a major milestone with the launch of Saina Health Centre in Dallallekutok Ward, raising the county’s total functional health facilities to 110.
The new facility is part of Lenku’s push to expand access to quality, affordable healthcare across all sub-counties, ensuring residents benefit from both improved infrastructure and adequately stocked hospitals.
Speaking during the launch, Governor Lenku said the project falls under his administration’s vision to make Kajiado towns more livable through investments in healthcare, water, and road infrastructure. “We are glad to bring this facility right within the community as we had intended, ensuring that no resident is left behind when it comes to healthcare,” he said.

Deputy Governor Martin Moshisho applauded the initiative, noting that the administration has consistently invested in critical infrastructure across health, water, and roads to uplift communities.
County Health CEC Alex Kilowua said the new facility will decongest Kajiado Referral Hospital by handling most outpatient cases, thereby allowing the referral hospital to focus on inpatients and specialized care. “This modern health centre at the heart of Kajiado town will transform healthcare delivery and improve service quality,” he said.
