Wednesday, November 27, 2024 - A concerned Kenyan has raised the
alarm over the poor state of Lowdar County Hospital where patients are forced
to sleep on beds that have no mattresses, while others in congested wards sleep
on the floor.
The hospital also has poor drainage, and the wards are flooded whenever it
rains, posing health risks to the patients.
Further reports indicate that some of the critical machines in the hospital are
not working.
Security guards also said that part of the hospital is not fenced and robbers
take advantage of this to raid the facility at will and steal hospital beds,
mattresses, and patients’ clothes.
The County Government receives over Sh 12 billion from the exchequer with
additional support from the donors to guarantee the residents access to quality
healthcare services but the money is looted, leaving the hospital in a sorry
state.
