Launching the programme at Muriranja Level Four Hospital in Kahuro sub county, local  Deputy Governor Stephen Munania, emphasized the critical importance of early detection and regular health screenings as a strategy to prevent lifestyle diseases and improve quality of life.

“This initiative demonstrates the need for a healthy workforce, and community that can be achieved through regular check-ups,” said Munania.

He disclosed that the wellness programme will be an annual exercise, where the public servants will have an engagement with health care providers.Health Chief Officer Eliud Maina lauded the pact as a long awaited programme to benefit the employees who have been struggling with diseases.

“ Governor Irungu Kang’ata administration is caring to the residents and the employees through the introduction of preventive measures,” said Maina.
