Government's move to replace Dr Kibosia was uncalled for

The government's move to advertise the position of CEO for Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret to replace Dr John Kibosia is uncalled for. Despite the challenges being faced at the facility, Dr Kibosia has worked hard to improve operations. MTRH has improved staff welfare; service delivery and infrastructure thanks to the commitment and dedication of the CEO.

The construction of mental health ward, cardiac centre, Chandaria cancer and chronic diseases centre, alcohol and drug abuse rehabilitation centre and shoe4africa children‘s hospital are some of the developments projects initiated under Dr Kibosia‘s watch.

The Hospital‘s quality objectives through ISO 9001:2008 and the certification of the hospital recorded recently is a clear indication that it is on the right track.

The facility in the past had challenges with funds but Dr Kibosia brought donors on board who have helped initiate various projects.

The collaboration with the Metropolitan City of Minneapolis in liaison with Uasin-Gishu County government has greatly improved service delivery.

Hence the government should extend Dr Kibosia‘s term to continue with modernisation of equipment and infrastructure at the hospital.
