Most of Eldoret town falls under Eldoret East and Eldoret West, and Turbo Sub-County Hospital appears under Eldoret West.

Using SHA in Uasin Gishu

Dial *147# to confirm your SHA status before you go and carry your national ID. MTRH and other Level 6 hospitals usually expect a referral from a lower-level facility for non-emergency care, so start at a dispensary, health centre or sub-county hospital unless it is an emergency.
