Nyeri, Kenya: It was a big sigh of relief when doors opened at the Nyeri County Comprehensive Renal and Dialysis Centre at the county referral hospital.

Before its establishment, the county referral hospital, whose patients come as far as Nyeri, Laikipia, Kirinyaga, Murang’a and Embu, often referred patients to Kenyatta National Hospital for dialysis.
