Kerugoya County Referral Hospital is a health hazard, according to a medical inspection report. Specialised officers such as consultants, clinical officers, nursing staff, public health officers, and pharmacists are not enough to attend to patients. Worse still, waste materials including sharp objects were either burnt or buried as the hospital does not have an incinerator. The report, copied to hospital manager, Governor Anne Waiguru and Health CS Sicily Kariuki recommends disciplinary and administrative punishment for manager Gideon Mburu among other senior officials. She said after visiting the facility that six senior county officers in the department of health have been suspended after being identified as being behind the crisis.
