News that workers at the Nairobi Hospital had contracted cholera recently shocked many. Not because cholera is a strange disease, but because it was beyond the imagination of many that such a premier medical institution could be associated with a disease that thrives in unhygienic conditions.

As if that was not bad enough, the hospital, owned by the Kenya Hospital Association, is engulfed in leadership wrangles that could topple it from its perch at the top of best performers. This should not be allowed to happen because avenues for dialogue through which outstanding issues could be resolved exist.
