A robust health service delivery centre is one of the most essential and important support service of any modern organization. This is why the university’s Health Unit endears itself to continually improve its services ranging from medical services, minor surgical procedures and antenatal clinics. The Health Unit in conjunction with the AIDS Control Unit has seen an increase in HIV testing from both students and staff members and reports are submitted to the Sub County Health On ce on the 5th of every month with a view to supporting the Government’s to bring to control HIV/AIDS.
In conjunction with the AIDS Control Unit, we have been able to organize health weeks where we invite experts from the health sector; for example, from 16th to 20th March, 2021, Equity Afya medical partnered with us in conducting full body check-ups to both our students and staff members.
Th e health unit also worked hand in hand with Kitui Rural Sub County health team to sensitize and push for Covid-19 vaccination and testing in October 2021.
In December 2021, we participated in a training on Tuberculosis in Machakos County which mainly enlightened us on proper management of the killer disease and new ways of handling Tuberculosis patients.
