This is the reality at Kiambu Level Five and most of the 117 hospitals in the county. In some hospitals in Kiambu and Tigoni, patients are asked to buy blankets. Some of Kiambu County government’s six advanced ambulances, which were bought at Sh40 million, have been vandalised and reduced to patient carriers. Despite the overwhelming evidence, Kiambu Health executive Joseph Murega and County chief officer Andrew Toro denied reports of hospitals lacking food. He added that at any given time, the hospitals have 3,000 patients, with 50 per cent coming from neighbouring counties.
