Sunview Medipro Boosts Machakos Healthcare with Advanced Lab, Theatre & CT Scan Installations
Machakos County, May 5, 2025 - Her Excellency Wavinya Ndeti today flagged off trucks carrying advanced laboratory and operating theatre equipment to hospitals across Machakos County in a major move to improve healthcare services in the region.
The equipment, supplied and installed by Sunview Medipro, is being distributed to facilities including Machakos County Referral Hospital, Kangundo Level IV Hospital, Mavoko Level IV Hospital, Masii Level IV Hospital and several sub-county hospitals.
The installations include modern operating theatres fitted with advanced surgical lights, operating tables, anaesthesia machines, patient monitors and essential surgical instrumentation.
Hospitals have also been equipped with biochemistry, electrolyte and haematology analysers to improve diagnostics and reduce turnaround time for patients.
Machakos County Referral Hospital has already received a CT scanner, while Kangundo Level IV Hospital is set to receive a Philips 128-slice CT scanner featuring AI-enabled imaging, lower radiation exposure and faster scan times.
Governor Wavinya Ndeti said the investment will help residents receive scanning, diagnosis and treatment services within Machakos County without travelling to other regions.
Sunview Medipro CEO Sirat Amin said the company is committed to maintaining reliable services, equipment support and continuous supply of reagents and consumables across all facilities.
The company has also integrated PACS digital reporting systems to allow radiologists to remotely access and share imaging results in real time.

Modern Laboratory Equipment
On the lab side, hospitals have been equipped with biochemistry, electrolyte, and haematology analysers. These machines support critical tests such as blood analysis, electrolytes, and other diagnostics.
This is expected to significantly reduce turnaround times and improve clinical decision-making.

Expanded CT Scan Capacity
Machakos is rapidly expanding its radiology capacity. A CT scanner has already been installed at Machakos County Referral Hospital, while Kangundo Level IV Hospital is set to receive a Philips 128-slice CT scanner featuring AI-enabled imaging, lower radiation exposure, faster scan times, and enhanced diagnostic accuracy.
The county’s existing 64-slice CT scanner will be relocated to Matuu Sub-County Hospital, bringing the total number of CT scanners in Machakos to three.

Affordable Services Through SHA
With the recent inclusion of CT scans under the Social Health Authority (SHA), registered residents will be able to access scanning services without the heavy costs that were previously unaffordable for many families.
Reliable Equipment Support
Sunview Medipro has committed to maintaining a minimum 95% uptime and ensuring continuous supply of reagents and consumables across all facilities.
“We’re not just dropping off machines and leaving, we’re here to make sure they keep running and hospitals always have the supplies they need to serve patients.”
