Nakuru-based Hindu Temple Jalaram is set to launch a medical
centre to cater for low income households, charging as low as Sh200 for
treatment.
The Temple, known for its humanitarian work,
has received a Sh3 million boost from Prime Bank for construction of
the Sh170 million facility that will offer medical services at
subsidised rates.
The medical centre will offer
diagnostic laboratory services, radiology, CT Scan, general practice
clinics and a pharmaceutical services at a subsidised rate and in some
cases free of charge.
“We are committed to meeting the
needs of the low income families in Nakuru and that is why we are
venturing into medical services, a basic need that is beyond the reach
of most Kenyans,” said Raj Shah, one of project’s trustees.
Managed
by a group of trustees, Jalaram temple helps the needy through
provision of free meals, education scholarships for bright students,
wheel chairs and crutches to the persons with disabilities.
