Imagine that you have been appointed the Director of Health at the Kaluyu Memorial Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya – a for-profit

hospital. The facility is also a referral hospital and receives severe cases of accidents, chronicle / communicable diseases

and houses an HIV / AIDS ward. As you settle into your position, you realize that the employees always act scared as they

approach their superiors. Some of the employees even deliver files and leave your office in a hurry.

As you make your routine departmental visits, you realize that there are tensions between nurses and doctors, and there is a

sentiment that the nurses tend to do the majority of the work within patient care but the doctors get all the credit. You

realize that the employees are always looking forward to the end of their shifts to go home. Some employees even come back

to work wearing the same unwashed clothes as the previous day. Too many employees are calling in sick, and many of them give

weak reasons for their tardiness.

There is also a sense that employees and nurses dominate other employees in similar positions. In meetings and conference

calls some employees are always quiet and never participate. You notice that people with families tend to gather and talk

quietly on breaks. The new mothers working for the hospital have to use bathrooms to pump breast milk for their infants and

the refrigerators do not work well. Looking at the financial statements of the hospital, you realize that the hospital

expenses are higher than the industry standard, and it makes losses year after year.
