Agha Khan Health Service on Saturday opened a medical facility in Kimilili, Bungoma County as demand for healthcare services grows.
The facility is located along Posta Street next to Phim Kindergarten primary school.
Aga Khan Hospital Kisumu marketing officer Maureen Khamala said that the decision was taken because most of their clients travel to Kisumu and Eldoret for medical services.
“Our intention is to bring services closer to the people to reduce costs and traveling long distances,” she said.
