Disturbing incidents in public hospitals, including deaths from negligence, have rattled the country’s state of health. In less than a month, three hospitals have been closed, the latest being Seaside Hospital in Mombasa County after an inspection led by Director of Medical Services Jackson Kioko.
The others are St Theresa in Kikuyu, Kiambu County where a pregnant woman bled to death while in labour and Shalom Hospital in Machakos County.
