Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga has appealed to the Ministry of Health to expedite the installation of a regional Covid-19 testing facility in the county. Governor Kahiga said the lack of a testing facility remains the major weak link in the management of Covid-19 in the county and region. "I also believe that the new county health services fund will address this in the short and long-term by ensuring all health facilities in Nyeri county have both basic and specialised medical supplies all the time." The governor thanked AMREF Health Africa and other parters who have continued to support the county in fighting the pandemic. "AMREF has supported the county in provision of personal protective equipment, Covid-19 testing, training and even now in Covid-19 vaccine deployment," he said.
