Lifecare Hospital: Bungoma’s first multi-specialty hospital to change lives

Facilities at the hospital.

When Professor Chris Lukorito Wanjala of the University of Nairobi got very ill in Bungoma in the wee hours of October 14^th last year, his wife of half a century, Sarah Wanjala was at a loss – not of words, but of action.

The nearest fully fledged hospital that can deal with life threatening emergencies – such as what the Don of Literary Criticism in East Africa was experiencing (Prof Wanjala complained of extreme chest pain, was experiencing difficulty breathing and said as his almost last words ‘clean me up; my tongue is getting heavy, soon I won’t be able to talk at all’) – is the Moi Referral and Teaching Hospital.
