Is it operational?
09/04/2012

Six months after starting operations, Mama Referral Hospital in Kayole, Nairobi is yet to begin admitting patients due to lack of basic facilities and alleged procurement scandal.

Envisaged as Nairobi’s second referral hospital and the third in the country, the facility today remains open but severely incapacitated for lack of equipment!!
A spot check at the hospital located in Embakasi established that wards are still locked although consultation rooms are frequented by hopeful patients suffering from all kinds of illnesses.Sad

The hospital is operating below capacity with many patients being referred to Mbagathi District Hospital, especially those that involve technical cases. The new steriliser broke down months ago. You cannot call that hospital a referral hospital but a dispensary," Pray said Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union Secretary General Boniface Chitayi.
"You cannot send staff there because what will they be doing without facilities? The Finance ministry should set aside more funds so that the hospital can fully attend to two million residents of Embakasi," said Onyancha.

"It appears there was a hurry to open the facility when it was not even ready.

And here we have ghost clinics receiving money.
My dear country.

Has it opened its doors to the public?
