The Tala Hospital has officially started operations marking the debut of a modern, purpose-built medical facility designed to provide high-quality and accessible healthcare to the Eastern region’s growing population.
Located in Tala town, Machakos County, the hospital will offer a wide range of inpatient, outpatient, diagnostic, and specialist services.
The Tala Hospital, Board Chairperson, Dr Thomas Maingi, said: “This facility is a promise to the people of Machakos County, and Kenya in general, that quality care can and should be within reach. We will be providing expert care with skilled professionals and state-of-the-art medical equipment.

Cosmas Ngula Masesi, Matungulu Sub-County Administrator, Machakos County, said: “The opening and operation of The Tala Hospital reflects the growing role of private sector innovation in supporting the government’s health agenda. We welcome this, and more partnerships that are geared towards improving service delivery and the health of every citizen.”
