Aden Duale has officially commissioned the Samburu Blood Satellite Centre at the Samburu County Referral Hospital, fully equipped with critical blood processing technology. This milestone makes Samburu self-reliant in blood services and strengthens emergency care by ensuring timely, locally available blood and transfusion solutions.

Hon. Duale also launched the Digital Health System in Samburu County. So far, 516 digital devices have been delivered, 38 trainers engaged, and 172 healthcare workers trained to enhance their capacity in using the technology. The devices will be deployed to 108 public health facilities, improving access to patient data and streamlining service delivery.

These two landmark initiatives are pivotal in accelerating the realization of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) under Kenya’s Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
