Embu Governor Cecily Mbarire has issued a warning to healthcare workers, emphasizing that laxity and poor service delivery will not be tolerated.

The warning comes days after a woman gave birth on hospital verandah at Kiritiri Level Four Hospital in Mbeere South Constituency without professional assistance, causing a huge public uproar.

The incident that happened on Thursday night forced the County Government to suspend the Clinical Officer and a guard for mishandling the woman.

Governor Mbarire has stated that medical negligence will not be tolerated and her administration will not hesitate to dismiss errant health workers. "We will not spare any effort to take disciplinary measures against healthcare workers who fail to deliver quality medical services in our public facilities," she said.
