He is trying his best to equip it. This is a wake-up call to other county governors to emulate him and upgrade the Level 5 referral hospitals that are in counties. Some hospitals in some counties are in a sorry state. We are calling upon the respective governors to make more effort in terms of equipping the Level 5 referral hospitals in the counties, so that we can reduce the pressure at the national referral hospitals like Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH). We saw what happened at KNH recently."}
