Suspended KNH CEO Lily Koros Rehired At The Ministry Of Health

Suspended Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) CEO Lily Koros is the new Administration Secretary at the Ministry of Health.

The embattled CEO will now work under principal secretary Peter Tum in the administrative wing.

The ministry is divided into the technical wing headed by the Director of Medical Services and administration section headed by the PS.

“She is in charge of administration and her job entails oversight of the general administration duties in the ministry, which include finance, accounts and other departments,” he said.

Koros was sent on a compulsory leave in March after a neurosurgery mix-up that resulted in brain surgery being performed on the wrong patient.

She had worked as the CEO of KNH since February 2014, and her appointment to the ministry marks an end off an era for her.

She previously served as a hospital administrator at a facility run by the Africa Inland Church (AIC) in Litein as well as Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret.

Thomas Mutie was appointed acting CEO at KNH after the suspension. The move paves the way for KNH to hire a substantive boss to shepherd its five-year plan.
