Healthcare is one of the basic, if not the most basic needs in the entire world. This is because you never realize how much you need it until you actually do. In an attempt to improve the general well being of people in the county, Nakuru has done its best to be at the forefront in terms of healthcare provision.
As a matter of fact, the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics [KNBS] has ranked Nakuru among top 5 counties that are leading in quality and affordable healthcare provision. If you happen to be in Nakuru and need to visit a private hospital, here is a list of my top 10 recommendations;
