Do you know patients’ realisation that they are not being handled well can make their condition deteriorate?

This is the message from a community health worker from Limuru, Kiambu, who has served in hospitals in the diaspora for more than 40 years.

Margaret Njuguna, 66, has urged Kenyans to help hospitals take care of patients.

She said they can donate furniture, bedding and other materials.

Njuguna was speaking at Tigoni Subcounty Hospital in Limuru constituency on Tuesday, when she donated bedding worth Sh1 million.

“My mother used to bring me to this hospital when I was a small girl. The place was very cold, as it is today. I know the items I brought will be of help to the patients,” she said.

Njuguna was with county clinical services director Andrew Toro, the hospital deputy superintendent Dr Mumbi Chege, assembly deputy speaker Antony Macharia, Tigoni MCA Kamau Gachumi and his nominated counterpart Lillian Mwaura.

Macharia thanked Njuguna for supporting the hospital.
