Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has mourned veteran gynacologist Dr. Job Obwaka who died Friday at the age of 83.
In a statement, CS Duale noted that Dr. Obwaka devoted his life to advancing medical practice in Kenya, leaving an invaluable contribution to the medical fraternity through his clinical excellence, leadership and mentorship of generations of practitioners.
According to reports, Dr. Obwaka who was also the Nairobi Hospital director, was brought to hospital unconscious and pronounced dead on arrival.
