The Makueni County Referral Hospital located in Wote is the largest public hospital in Makueni county, a subdivision inhabited by more than one million people. It serves as a referral hospital for the few other healthcare centres in the region and includes a paediatric ward, surgery ward and, since 2018, an gynaecology and obstetric ward, which is one of the most modern in the country. Makueni County Referral Hospital also operates a psychological outpa- the hospital’s outpatient clinic since 2013 while other wards were still using hardcopy documentation. Thanks to the project, the FUNSOFT system was imple¬mented to the entire hospital, mainly in the new section added to the centre in 2018 (the gynaecology and obstetric section with maternity and neonatal wards). Uniform electronic registration of patients greatly streamlined the ef¬fective provision of medical care and improved the quality of day-to-day hos¬pital management. The unit's adminis¬trative efficiency was increased and the loss of documents prevented. In addition, the prenatal and obstetric wards in the hospital were equipped with three electronic foetal monitors in order to improve prenatal diagnosis.
