The hospitals will have 26 beds for Maternity, 20 beds for children, 20 beds for females, 10 beds for males and 4 beds for the High Dependency Unit (HDU).Other facilities at the two hospitals include an Emergency, Outpatient consisting of 3 Consultation rooms, Dentist, Eye and E.N.T (Ear, Nose and Throat).

In addition to that, each hospital will have an elaborate laboratory, state of the art x-ray and Ultra sound machine, a maternity wing and a blood transfusion center. This will be specifically very strategic especially for Likoni as they will not need to cross the ferry for essential health services. “This is an effort to bring essential medical services closer to the people and decongest major hospitals. Today we have advertised for the tenders in all leading dailies and I would like to urge Mombasa businessmen, youth, persons living with disabilities and women to take advantage of the tenders being issued by Mombasa County. This is not only aimed at growing local based businesses but also stimulate County’s economy as a whole”. Said Governor Hassan Joho.
