    "content": "right community has hindered the output of our county hospitals and dispensaries. Another issue is the resignation of doctors opposed to devolution. That is not helping matters. Hospitals have ICUs that cater for specific medical specialities or patients such as neonatal intensive care, paediatric intensive care, psychiatric intensive care, coronary care units, medical intensive care and neurological intensive care as well as trauma, post anaesthesia and High Dependency Units (HDUs) and surgical intensive care. Currently, with a population of about 40 million, Kenya only has 37 functional ICUs in the public hospitals out of 52 which are in place. Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) has only 26 beds, Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) has six beds, the Coast General Hospital has two beds, the Nakuru General Hospital has four beds, the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital has four beds, the Nyeri Level 5 Hospital has three beds and the Kisii Level 5 Referral Hospital has five beds. There are a further 57 functional ICU beds in private and faith-based hospitals. There is another term which we use for ICUs which are not complete ICUs. The term is HDU. This is a smaller version. Patients from HDUs can be transferred to ICUs but they are not considered ready for the hospital bed."
