Asalaam Alekum! Hamjambo.
Governor Dado, thank you, together with the people of Tana River for extending such a gracious reception to me and to my team. I am very happy to be visiting Tana River County for the very first time, to enjoy your beautiful and expansive county. County First Lady Asha Dado, I am so pleased to hear about your work in uplifting the welfare of women and children in this community. I am extremely encouraged when I hear about the hard work and dedication County First Ladies all over the country are putting into making a difference to the lives of children, women and men. I have seen this in the 43 counties that I have visited across Kenya, and today I see it here. Today, we come together as partners who have passion and deep concern for advancing the health of all citizens: health of our mothers and our fathers, health of our sisters and our brothers and most importantly, the health of our children. For me, it has been the privilege of a lifetime to dedicate time and energy towards saving lives of mothers and children. This County has done a fantastic job of keeping the HIV virus at bay. The 1 to 2% HIV prevalence rate is among the lowest in the Kenya and this deserves
our recognition for setting that standard. In
addition, your County has gained recognition for success under the Mother to Mother mentorship programme. I am aware of the Countys investment in healthcare infrastructure, including the expansion of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) unit at the Hola Referral Hospital which I visited this morning and laid a foundation stone. I look forward to witnessing the completion of this building and hearing about the difference it will make to the health of mothers and children. We continue to be reminded that there are still problems to solve, targets to reach and milestones to be met. Sadly, the number of mothers dying while giving birth in this County is extremely high. This is also true for children who die at birth, or do not get beyond the age of 5. So many pregnant women still do not take advantage of the free maternity services offered by the Government, neither do they attend the recommended four antenatal visits. However, all this can change if we promise to work together towards safe deliveries. Bringing down the number of unnecessary deaths in Kenya will take dedication and collaboration by a wide range of stakeholders to address the many issues that challenge us. My being here with you today is because I truly believe that this County has what it takes to be innovative and to provide health services to cater to the unique needs of the nomadic communities in this area. Your County Government
intends to revamp existing health facilities and to
train and deploy more health professionals. For sustainable change in the long run however, we must keep our children in school and shun cultural practices that do not protect our girls and women. Governor Dado, partners and friends, every mother in this county and across Kenya -must understand why she needs to give birth in a safe, clean and well-equipped health facility. Our citizens must also have access to quality health care. I believe we can and must do these things and that every single action counts. It is for this reason that I am here today to deliver the 44th Mobile Medical clinic kindly donated by our long term partners Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB). This is not only a gift from the bank, but from Kenyans across the Country - from all walks of life. My visit here will not be the end of our working together. For me, the work is just beginning, and I truly look forward to continuing to partner with you, Governor Dado, and with all the people of this great County, to finish the good work that you have started.
