    "content": "The Spinal Injury Hospital is no exception. It is the same in terms of needs with Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital. It has no staff. It caters to patients from Central and most of East Africa. It is limited in bed capacity. There are shortages of staff and money. It is all the same. The MTRH in Eldoret suffers a burden of serving patients from many counties. One of them is Baringo where I used to come from. It has a bed capacity of 900, but they said bed occupancy is at 110 per cent meaning there would be two patients per bed. This is really terrible. Cash flow is a problem and it is compounded by debt waivers and fee waivers. So, the corporate debt is about Kshs313 million. Individual debts is Kshs514 million. There is an acute problem of debts. Cash flow is terrible. They are also experiencing a problem with international partners who cannot get visas and permits. These partners have been experiencing problems with the National Treasury because the Americans would like to fund the MTRH directly, but the National Treasury would like this money to go through them. The Americans have objected. Those issues should be sorted out. They also have visa issues and work permits related issues. These are some of the problems bedevilling these hospitals."
