Nakuru has a healthcare crisis.
Our public hospitals are bending due to immense pressure. A few months ago during a nationwide nurse’s’ strike we lost close to 1000 people at PGH only and even more at the moment cannot access a proper healthcare.
Nakuru is hit particularly hard in matters SHA as many institutions as at March this year had not received reimbursement of up to 2.81 Billion. We had a highest outstanding SHA claims amongst counties in Kenya.
When the governor came to office, they took over The War memorial hospital against a court order. Many people in Nakuru trusted that hospital more than they can trust pgh since they made it easy for Kenyans to receive medical attention quickly and with ease unlike with our Public hospitals.
As a growing County, rapid population growth and urbanization will still put an immense pressure on our Healthcare system and thus if not looked into keenly we might continue to bend under pressure. Our mandate is to make sure that healthcare is accessible to all Kenyans am with ease.
The governor Nakuru county is not doing much to get us out of the crises. She’s incompetent on this matter.
