The Migori County government constructed thirty health facilities ten years ago, but they haven’t been put into use yet. The dispensaries located in each ward of the county comprise the non-operationalized health institutions.
One of the medical facilities that hasn’t been used for several years after it was finished is Oore Dispensary.
This dispensary, which offered hope to Oore residents who struggle to get health care, is still closed.
Oore resident Phenius Olunga claims that the dispensary’s construction was finished under the administration of former governor Okoth Obado. The public has never been able to use it.
Olunga continues, saying they still don’t know why the facility can’t be used.
Julius Awuor Nyerere, a member of the Department of Health’s Migori County Executive Committee, stated to the media that thirty medical facilities nationwide are still not operating.
Nyerere clarified, however, that the administration is setting up the required personnel and equipment as part of the operationalization plan.
According to him, the facilities cannot be opened until the required equipment has been acquired.
