Lack of a three-phase power supply and inadequate personnel are the key hindrances to provision of crucial services in the two far-flung sub-counties. AdvertisementMost theatre equipment at Merti Sub-County Hospital are not in use due to lack of a three-phase power supply system, forcing patients to seek the services at the Isiolo Referral Hospital. A computerised tomography (CT-Scan) machine and mammogram at the Garbatulla hospital are among those not working due to lack of experts to run them. Among the leased operational equipment at the Isiolo Referral Hospital include ultrasound, radiography and dialysis machines. “We previously had a challenge with the power supplier but we will ensure the supply is upgraded soonest possible,” Mr Wario said.
