SOLUTION TO 'CHRISTMAS CRISIS'

First Lady Margaret Kenyatta is received at Kyeni Hospital

The country-wide Doctors strike, which has now come to be referred to as the 'Christmas Crisis', occurred at quite a critical time; the festive season. The miserable situation in Kenya public hospitals is nothing to write home about, to say the least.

However, residents of Embu and neighbouring counties have much to be grateful for; alternative medical facilities allover the county.

Foremost amongst these is Embu Children's Hospital - TENRI and Consolata Hospital - Kyeni. The latter recently received aid from Project C.U.R.E., the largest provider of donated medical supplies and equipment in developing countries allover the world.

A Renal Unit at the institution was officially commissioned by First Lady Margaret Kenyatta on 30th November 2016, as she also presided over the Handing-over celebrations of Medical Supplies and Equipment Container. She was received by Embu county governor Martin Wambora.

Mr Wambora has gone ahead and seconded three doctors to the hospital to ease congestion and serve patients better.

The medics will be paid by the county government on a permanent and pensionable basis.

At Tenri, there is an ongoing Diabetes and Hypertension clinic, as seen in the photos below:

Kyeni hospital is a missionary facility while Tenri is a nongovernmental organization (NGO). 

These institutions may be privately owned and managed but have always offered better services to the general public than the actual public hospitals.
