Something is terribly wrong in KNH management and has for sure made the State more unhealthy.
Just the other day, KNH announced that they are planning to built a private hospital worth 16Billion and today the hospital has launched an M-pesa paybill number to beg for funds to build a 156-bed cancer centre at a cost of Sh494 million. The project was announced last month and gracing the events were Kenya’s business moguls and billionaire sponsors to say the least.
According to KNH, the four-storey facility within the referral hospital’s grounds will host a day recess area, a cancer resource centre, a restaurant and other support services.
The disclosure was made when realtor Optiven Group urged local and diaspora networks to raise funds for the project.
Optiven chief executive George Wachiuri said it would carry a campaign on their online platform to solicit funds for development.
“It is a worthy project that benefits society and especially victims who are forced to defer commencement of treatment until a bed is available in the wards,” he said.
Records indicate that the project is funded via collaborative efforts by KNH, ION, American Cancer Society, Friends of Hope Hostel, Devki Group, the NCC cement plants Billionaire owner group, as well as corporate and individual contributions.
The hospital has also launched an M-Pesa Paybill 474444 whose proceeds will go towards realisation of the so called KNH Hope Hostel.
Dexdign Architects designed the project for free and the designs have since been approved by Nairobi City County that waived all approval fees.
