Residents have complained that they are being turned away and told to seek services from private facilities. The 60-bed maternity ward at the hospital has been converted into a Covid-19 emergency unit, with maternity services moved to an old five-bed maternity ward. Between 20 and 30 women seek maternity services at Engineer Level 4 Hospital daily. Nyandarua Health executive Njenga Mungai, however, rejected claims that residents are being denied services at Engineer hospital. He expressed concern that as the situation stands, women are expected to seek services from Nakuru and Naivasha.
