Universal healthcare still a paper dream as plans miss their completion timelines

A block at the Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital in Nairobi. Construction works stopped due to lack of funds.

Renovations and equipping of the National Spinal Injury Hospital at a cost of Sh230 million is one of the projects under the Ministry of Health that have stalled way beyond their completion dates.

As detailed in the latest breakdown of government projects released by the National Treasury, the incomplete renovations have contributed to the Sh231.8 billion worth of incomplete projects under the Ministry of Health.
