UpbeatA 4,000-bed hospital is rising in Eldoret — starting with 2,000 beds and 600 new health jobs
Kenya's Defence Principal Secretary Patrick Mariru confirmed on 12 October that phase one of a new Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret has begun, supervised by the Kenya Defence Forces. The first phase is a 2,000-bed facility on 200 acres at Kiplombe Farm in Uasin Gishu County, due in 2027, with a second 2,000-bed phase to follow. Once complete, the hospital is expected to employ 600 new health workers and offer transplants and surgery that are currently unavailable in the country.
