The Catholic Bishop of Kakamega 317 Diocese, Joseph Obanyi, has announced that St. Mary’s Hospital Mumias will reopen at the end of this month after months of closure. This brings relief to thousands of residents who have been without services since the facility was shut down last year.
The hospital was closed following a prolonged strike by health workers after the management cited delays by the government in remitting funds under the Social Health Authority (SHA) health insurance scheme.
