Badilisha to form management boards for Nyandarua hospitals
By KNA, October 14, 2022Residents of Nyandarua county have welcomed Governor Moses Badilisha’s proposals to establish hospital boards to help in the management of its health facilities.
The residents said the decentralization of the decision-making role to hospital boards would go a long way in ensuring need-based interventions in boosting the facilities.
A number, however, felt that the boards were a misuse of public resources, with the managers being the governor’s political hoodwinks.
“Poorly restocked hospitals, low doctor-to-patient ratio, as well as denial of services and numerous referrals, may be a thing of the past as these boards, if constituted properly, will ensure service delivery,” noted Jackson Muraguri a resident of Ol Jororok constituency.
The governor, who has already seen the first consignment of drugs distributed to the various facilities across the county, noted that all the 78 health facilities would offer stellar services to the residents. The boards, he said, will curb the delay in restocking the facilities.
