Kenya faces deadly emergency medical failures, auditor warns
Hospitals, particularly Level 4 facilities, offer little relief. Only nine per cent of these hospitals have dedicated accident and emergency departments, and none of them provide separate paediatric care. Thirty out of 33 Level 4 hospitals sampled, including facilities in Nairobi, Kisumu, Nakuru, Mombasa, and Machakos, had no proper A&E departments.
