Mombasa, Kenya – In a major boost to maternal healthcare, Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Shariff Nassir has unveiled plans for a new Sh50 million maternity facility at Likoni Hospital, supported by the Safaricom Foundation.
During a recent visit to the hospital, Governor Nassir engaged directly with medical staff and patients, gaining critical insights into the facility’s current challenges and gaps in service delivery.
“I had the privilege of working from Likoni Hospital today. I spoke with our dedicated staff and listened to patients’ concerns.
