“There is an impending crisis at Pumwani Hospital. The facility has had to shut a number of wards due to understaffing. Meanwhile contracts of half the medical staff expire this coming week.
The County Government must pull up its socks and speedily regularize their employment. For a facility that delivers hundreds of babies a day, we cannot afford the problem to persist even a day.” said Sifuna
