NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 7-Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has defended Wamalwa Kijana Teaching and Referral Hospital against its controversial “Shakahola” tag, citing successful specialized spinal and orthopaedic surgeries as evidence of the facility’s expanding capacity to provide advanced medical care.
Natembeya said a team of surgeons at the Kitale-based facility had successfully performed two complex spinal procedures on young patients injured in separate road accidents, alongside a knee replacement operation on an elderly woman.
The procedures included a Posterior Instrumented Fusion on a 21-year-old man who sustained a traumatic spinal injury following a road traffic accident.
