Government Set to Operationalize the National Police Service Referral Hospital (NPSRH)

𝐍𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐢, 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚 - 𝟔𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 - Health Cabinet Secretary Hon. Aden Duale today held a high-level engagement with a delegation from the National Police Service (NPS) led by Inspector General Douglas Kanja to discuss the operationalization of the completed National Police Service Referral Hospital (NPSRH). The facility is intended to enhance access to specialized referral services for NPS personnel and their dependents, in line with Kenya’s Universal Health Coverage (UHC) priorities.

The meeting deliberated on several proposed management models aimed at fast-tracking the hospital’s operations, improving access to specialized care, and supporting the welfare of NPS officers while advancing UHC objectives.

CS Duale reaffirmed the Ministry’s unwavering commitment to operationalizing the facility, including the provision of additional equipment through the National Equipment Services Programme (NESP) — a government initiative designed to ensure continuous access to modern medical equipment in county health facilities.

The Cabinet Secretary was accompanied by the Principal Secretary for Medical Services, Dr. Ouma Oluga, and the Director General for Health, Dr. Patrick Amoth. The NPS delegation included Deputy Inspector General Gilbert Masengeli and Principal Administrative Secretary Ms. Bernice Sialaal.
