Former Chief Administrative Secretary in the Ministry of Health, Dr Mercy Mwangangi, has landed a new job as the head of Pumwani Maternity Hospital in Nairobi.
This follows changes that were made recently by Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja in a move to make the health sector work in his administration.
Through the gazette notice dated April 28, Governor Sakaja announced that the Pumwani Hospital will now be led by Dr Mwangangi.
The former CAS served during the last administration of former President Uhuru Kenyatta and under former Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe.
Dr Mwangangi was among the seven-member task force that was formed by Governor Sakaja when he took office to review and propose reforms in the county’s health sector, a team that was headed by former Kenyatta University vice-chancellor Prof Olive Mugenda.
Their term came to an end last year when President William Ruto became president.
In December last year, Dr Mwangangi was appointed the Director of Health Systems Strengthening at Amref Health Africa, Kenya office.
Dr Mwangangi became popular among Kenyans during the Covid-19 outbreak in Kenya, when she used to make daily updates on the pandemic.
