Health officials shut down damaged hospital in Taita-Taveta County

The county assembly minority leader, Ronald Sagurani, in whose area the facility is located, said more than 1,000 people who depended on the dispensary would be affected.

Malukiloriti dispensary in Taveta sub-county was constructed by the former county administration at a cost of more than Sh9 million.

The county executive committee member for health, Frank Mwangemi, said the dispensary was closed on Friday after the walls developed large cracks.
