Babies dying, patients poorly fed amid negligence at Naivasha Level IV Hospital

Members of the county assembly Health committee came face to face with what they described as the pathetic state of Naivasha Level IV Hospital following a prolonged public outcry over poor services.

They were left dump-founded when a nurse revealed they were losing at least 20 babies due to lack of incubators and medication.

During a tour of the facility, the Ward Reps learned that up to four premature babies were sharing one incubator after the others broke down. Workers admitted that the equipment broke down months ago while at the pharmacy, the last dispatch was received in November last year.
