Dr Njue said they were also increasing doctors and various specialists to carry out kidney transplants.
The county government has partnered with two hospitals in India and the US, which will see its Level Five hospital perform kidney transplants before the end of the year.
The hospital’s chief executive, Moses Njue, said they had signed a pact with the institutions for their doctors to conduct key operations at the facility.
He said plans were at an advanced stage to transform the facility into a referral and teaching hospital after setting up a Sh250 million complex to boost medical tourism. ‘‘Upon completion of the complex, the hospital will have a bed capacity of 700 patients,” he said.
Dr Njue said they were also increasing doctors and various specialists to carry out kidney transplants, cancer and complicated orthopaedic treatments.
The former chief government pathologist said yesterday when the hospital is fully privatised, it would earn the county at least Sh100 million per year.
Currently, the hospital attracts at least 1,200 outpatients per day from as far as Meru, Tharaka Nithi, Kitui and Kirinyaga.
“We want the hospital to be transformed into a parastatal with the same status as Kenyatta National Hospital and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. We want to do renal transplant before moving to other complicated surgeries,” said Dr Njue.
