Hospital Statistics
(From: January – December 2009)
(Source: Medical Records Department)
Introduction
When established in 1971, KCMC hospital was having a total bed capacity of 320, but due to increased number of patients the hospital was able to increase the number of beds up to 457.
Out-patient statistics
From the year 1971 – 2009, the number of patients attending KCMC hospital increased on daily basis, new registration of patients becoming higher leading to high overall patient’s attendances at KCMC hospital.
In-patient statistics
Number of patients admitted in the hospital increased yearly. The total bed capacity did not increase yearly; it increased in 3 phases between 1971 and 2009. This situation led to overcrowding in the hospital as shown by large percentage of bed occupancy. The turnover per bed was low which contributed also to overcrowding.
