Residents of Homa Bay County, Kenya are set to benefit from a new ultramodern hospital worth $38 million.
This is
after Homa Bay Governor Cyprian Awiti partnered with a Turkish organization to
construct the mega project meant to help millions of residents with quality
medical care.
The
Governor has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Turkish
organisation called Delta Trade Company, and also with Standard Medical Group
led by Managing Director Ian Okundi.
The
President of Delta Trade Company, Huseyin Sahin who was present during the
signing promised the health facility will be up in no time adding that his
organization had over 22 years of developing hospitals in Turkey and is
currently extending its reach in the rural parts of Africa.
“We are
going to apply the experience we have to ensure the region gets the best health
facility,” said
Sahin.
The
groundbreaking of the 210 bed capacity hospital took place at the Homa Bay County Referral
Hospital with construction of the two hospitals set to begin in two months’ time.
The
project which is executed under a public-private partnership is expected to
take 12 months to be complete and after that the hospital will fully be handed
over to the Homa Bay government after 30 years.
The
county government of Homa Bay provided land for the construction while the
Turkish investors will contribute the funds.

Trade Company has successfully completed several similar projects in the past
and provided all medical equipment and devices while generating 110 turn-key
projects throughout Turkey.
