Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>New mothers in various hospitals in Kirinyaga county had a reason to smile after Governor Anne gifted them with Christmas hampers.<\/p>\n

Hampers were distributed to new mothers, including those anticipating delivery on Christmas Eve, at Kerugoya, Kianyaga, Kimbimbi, and Sagana hospitals.<\/p>\n

The thoughtful gift packages comprised a baby bath basin, baby shawl, wrappers, socks, cap, lesos, diapers, and sanitary pads for the mothers.<\/p>\n

The county’s statement indicated that a total of 60 new mothers were recipients of these hampers at the Kerugoya County Referral Hospital.<\/p>\n

Rachael Nyaga, a nurse at Kerugoya Hospital who handed over the gifts together with other health officials said that about 150 mothers were targeted in the initiative.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are here to deliver these gifts on behalf of our governor to spread the Christmas message and good tidings from her and we have seen how happy the mothers are,\u201d Nyaga said.<\/p>\n

County data reveals that five babies were delivered at the Kerugoya County Referral Hospital, two at Kianyaga Sub-County Hospital, and the eighth at Kabare Health Centre by Sunday midday.<\/p>\n

Nyaga highlighted that the Kerugoya County Referral Hospital is reaching a noteworthy milestone, celebrating six months since the inaugural admission at the new medical complex in June of this year.<\/p>\n

Since its opening, the facility has successfully facilitated 1,565 deliveries.<\/p>\n

The nurse further said the hospital has experienced a surge in the number of deliveries, a testament to the quality of healthcare services provided.<\/p>\n

The nurse thanked Governor Waiguru for keeping to her Christmas tradition of gifting new mothers with gift hampers in all county maternity wards.<\/p>\n

“Here at the Kerugoya County Referral Hospital, approximately 60 new mothers have benefited from this initiative,\u201d Nyaga said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe growth in our maternity ward has been remarkable since its inception, and this can be attributed to improved quality services offered by our medics, equipping of the facility with modern equipment and expanded space,” she added.<\/p>\n

The new mothers said expressed joy after receiving the gift hampers saying they felt more appreciated.<\/p>\n

Grace Muthoni, a new mother, expressed her gratitude, stating she never anticipated such a delightful surprise.<\/p>\n

“I want to thank the governor for facilitating me with these items, which are sometimes hard to afford. This has lifted my spirits and made me feel much appreciated,” she said.<\/p>\n

Muthoni went on to praise the hospital for its unwavering support, highlighting the kindness and the gentle care she had received from the nurses, the quality of services and food, the clean and spacious maternity ward.<\/p>\n

Nurse Virginia Muruga, who works in Kerugoya Maternity said that they were very happy to see the mothers receive the gifts as that complements the unit\u2019s commitment to excellent service.<\/p>\n
