I know the hospital from visiting a friend who was in there. Go to Kenya
for a visit, it`s a wonderful country with lakes, mountains, coast, and
great wildlife, the people will say "karibu" or welcome and you will
enjoy every moment! Once you have been there it leaves a lasting
impression and you never forget it.
