Healthcare Support in Homa Bay

At Onundo Stadium in Mbita, Suba North, over 3,100 residents received treatment. Services included malaria screening, family planning, and care for chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and tuberculosis.

New mothers at Homa Bay County Referral and Suba North Sub-County Hospitals received Mama Packs — kits with essential items for mothers and babies — to support safe deliveries and postnatal care.

“We bring health services closer to the people because health is a key pillar of our mission to transform lives,” said Joseph Ogutu, Safaricom Foundation Chairman.
