Just like Uhuru, Kibaki dedicated his first years in the presidency for national causes and development, almost creating the impression that he was neglecting his backyard. Gatundu Hospital, formerly a Level 4, has leap-frogged to Level Six and will now be run by the Kenyatta University Teaching and Referral Hospital (KUTRH) as a branch. The referral hospital has already deployed seven specialised doctors and 11 nurses at the Gatundu facility. Gatundu Hospital has enviable infrastructure after a four storied complex was built by Chinese contractors in Uhuru’s first term. Othaya Hospital Annex has since benefited from equipment and it was taken over by Kenyatta National Hospital from November 2019 and renamed the Kenyatta Hospital Annex.
