How ready is Lamu to tackle Covid-19?


Lamu has only established three Covid-19 centres, one at the Lamu King Fahad Hospital and one each at the Mpeketoni and Faza subcounty hospitals. While the likes of the Mbagathi Isolation Centre are equipped with beds, scanners and test kits, the Lamu facilities only have beds and cupboards. As at now, they can only receive Covid-19 patients but can’t treat them as they lack even the basic facilities. She said in February that the drugs were being stolen by staff at the various health facilities. In March, Governor Fahim Twaha was summoned by the Senate Committee on Health over the deteriorating state of health facilities.
