President Uhuru Kenyatta is shown the conceptual model of the KNRR hospital on Tuesday, August 31. PSCU President Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday, August 31, presided over the groundbreaking ceremony of the construction of the Kenya National Research and Referral Hospital (KNRRH) at the Kabete Army Barracks, Nairobi County. Once complete, the Level Six hospital would offer specialised health services to the military as well as other security forces. The Level Six hospital will hold a 700-bed capacity and serve as one of the key medical research facilities in the country. Uhuru, in his speech, added that the project is part of the government's initiative to enhance the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) agenda. "Very soon I'll be opening the Level 4 hospital in Kahawa, followed by another one in Isiolo where we will begin work very soon to upgrade the Forces Memorial hospital to a level 5 hospital and we're proceeding to develop hospitals in Eldoret, Garissa, Manda in Lamu and other areas so that we ensure that those of you who are out there on the front line are able to access quality health care closer to where you serve," Uhuru stated. The President was accompanied by Defence Cabinet Secretary Monica Juma, Interior CS Fred Matiang'i, Health CS Mutahi Kagwe, NMS boss Mohammed Badi and Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces General Robert Kibochi.
