Living Goods has handed over community health equipment valued at Sh8,862,000 to the County Government of Bungoma as part of its continued partnership to strengthen the community health system.
The consignment comprised 120 digital devices to enhance the quality and effectiveness of Community Health Promoter (CHP) supervision and 3,590 job aids to improve the quality of health education delivered by CHPs.

He reaffirmed the County Government’s commitment to providing equitable, high-quality healthcare for all residents and highlighted ongoing efforts to create an enabling environment for partners through the finalization of the County Partner Coordination Framework, which will guide coordination and collaboration.
On behalf of Living Goods Country Director, Mrs. Christine Namayanja, the equipment were officially handed over by the Living Goods Bungoma team, led by Senior Program Manager Mr. Victor Bwire who emphasized the importance of strong community health systems in improving maternal, newborn, and child health outcomes.
