Immediately after being sworn into office, Isiolo Governor Abdi Ibrahim Hassan famously known as Guyo visited the County Referral Hospital and caught medics unawares.
Only one doctor was on duty and this angered the Governor.
“As part of service delivery check-up, I made an impromptu visit at the county referral hospital this evening at around 10 minutes to mid-night. After a lengthy assessment of all critical emergency departments at the hospital, it was saddening to note that only one doctor was on duty, despite a good number being assigned in various work stations especially the casualty department,” he lamented.
The Governor said he discovered that the pharmacy department was closed and no employee was at the facility.
He said that his administration will not condone laxity especially in all health facilities across the county.
“I have issued directives to the ICTRH MED-SUP and the current CEC health to compile a list of health workers who were supposed to be on duty but deliberately absconded for immediate disciplinary action,” he said.
Before being elected Isiolo Governor, Abdi Hassan Ibrahim was a Councilor in Nairobi and latter Spring /Valley Matopeni MCA.
He was vying for the Embakasi North Parliamentary seat and later dropped out to vie for the Isiolo Governors seat.
