Nyeri County will host this year’s Annual Scientific Conference 2023, which will be held in Nyeri town between October 17 - 19.

This is according to The National Nurses Association of Kenya (NNAK) President Collins Ajwang who noted the county will host the three- day- conference which will be attended by over 2,000 delegates.

Speaking Thursday when the team paid a courtesy call to Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga and his Deputy Governor David Kinaniri, Ajwang said this is after nurses overwhelmingly voted for the county to host the nurses since it is the best county with the best Governor.

He said the nurses voted for the county last year during a conference held in Bungoma town.

Companies have also been invited to showcase their work during the conference which will attract nurses from the 47 counties.

Ajwang added that the National Nurses Association of Kenya (NNAK) is a professional association representing all cadres of nurses in Kenya drawn from practice settings, education, and research institutions.

‘’It also promotes positive health practises through improved socio-economic security and welfare of the nurses.’’ said Ajwang

The team also lauded the governor for his continued support including timely payment of salaries, personal emoluments, promotions and regular training.

While welcoming the delegates in the county, the governor further assured the nurses that his administration is committed towards prioritizing the welfare of the healthcare workers in a bid to ensure that they work in a conducive environment, as well as enable them deliver quality healthcare services to Nyeri residents.
