Medical equipment valued at Sh555.2 million are unused in 12 county hospitals as patients endure long travel and cost inconveniences seeking services in far-flung or private facilities.

Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu indicates in a special audit that while some of the equipment had broken down, the rest could not be used as the hosting hospitals lacked the infrastructure to install them.
