A senior county government official has admitted that Nakuru Level Five Hospital is struggling to offer services due to a dire shortage of staff.
In a concerning admission, Nakuru County Executive Committee Member for Health Roselyne Mungai, confirmed that despite serving thousands of Kenyans, the facility suffers from a significant shortage of staff. "The maternity wing is severely overwhelmed.
Looking at the number of deliveries happening here compared to the number of nurses that we have, it is severely suboptimal," said Mungai.
The recent death of Elizabeth Wairimu hours after giving birth has exposed the facility's shortfalls.
