In order to reduce on referral cases to other hospitals in either Nakuru or Eldoret, Baringo County Referral Hospital-Kabarnet has over time, under the leadership of H.E. Governor Benjamin Cheboi EGH, EBS, been improved in terms of service delivery particularly specialist services so as to enable it become the preferred medical services provider in the region.

These high end services include Renal Unit, Radiology and Mammography, CT scan, Intensive Care Unit and High Dependency Unit for neonates.

From 2013 more than 47 dispensaries were built and 13 other similar facilities upgraded to health centres across the county. The sub county hospitals were elevated to level four referral hospitals while Baringo county referral hospital was promoted to be level five hospital.

In order to upscale its services the County Government employed more staff ranging from nurses, clinical officers, lab technicians and doctors while the existing medical personnel were re-trained in order to enable them acquire more skills and professional knowledge in their areas of specialization keeping in mind the ever changing medical technologies.

The CEC for Heath Services said that the Renal Unit with five bed capacity and more than 20 patients is operating optimally. The Unit that was established in 2016 has made great progress saving many lives since patients get dialysis within their reach unlike in the past when they used to be referred to Moi Teaching & Referral Hospital and Nakuru Provincial General Hospital.

These achievements saw tremendous steps towards realising the objective of attaining a healthy society free of diseases and pandemics. According to the department, many cases of frequent diseases especially malaria, upper respiratory diseases, communicable diseases such as TB, hepatitis B, measles, polio and influenza as well as waterborne diseases especially Amoeba, cholera, typhoid and dysentery drastically reduced due to improved service delivery.
