Longisa Hospital Flagged for mixing expired and usable drugs!
Longisa County Referral Hospital reportedly stored expired drugs alongside usable ones, posing a serious risk to patient safety.
A Senate audit has uncovered alarming mismanagement at Longisa County Referral Hospital, where expired drugs have been mixed with usable ones, posing a serious risk to patients.

Despite these revelations, Bomet Governor Hillary Barchok has distanced himself from the crisis, stating that his administration is not responsible for the hospitals failures. The lack of accountability has raised concerns over the quality of healthcare services provided at the facility, with patients and stakeholders demanding urgent reforms.
