Mainda Sam said that they used to walk about 40KM to seek health services at Nthambiro Health Centre, Maua Methodist hospital or Meru Teaching and Referral hospital but with the construction, equipping and availability of health personnel at Muuru dispensary, the services are much closer. "We are grateful to the Governor for building a health facility here.

The three locations of Kiengu, Miori and Atheru were marginalized and now we will never walk long as we did before," he said. He added that they used to be given pledges by area leaders that the distance to a better health care could reduce but no one kept it."Muuru is the Centre of the three locations and leaders used to deceive us on good roads and health facility.

Last month he opened Nyambene hospital mortuary and a renal dialysis unit. We have works by the county government in water, education and employment of the local residents," he said Governor Munya, who spoke after opening the facility and presented a Sh. 7.8 million Ambulance for Nthambiro Health Centre on March 3rd 2017, insisted that in the next financial year funds, will be allocated for a maternity facility. He said that his administration is committed to bring services closer to residents. "My Government is committed to construct a health facility accessible to residents within a 5 km radius," added.
