A heavy cloud hangs over KUTRRH as we remember our dear colleague Mr. Eliud Enzyei Siena, who passed away on Sunday, 30th November 2025. Mr Siena joined KUTRRH in 2022 as a Patient Porter in the Directorate of Nursing Services, a position he held until his untimely demise. Mr. Siena was a dedicated, humble and hardworking member of the KUTRRH team, consistently carrying out his duties with compassion, respect and a warm spirit. His unwavering commitment to supporting patients and colleagues will be fondly remembered and truly missed.
This is a profoundly difficult time for family, relatives, friends and close colleagues of the late Mr. Siema and we pray that the Lord will uplift them and give them comfort.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and all who had the privilege of knowing and working with him. May you find comfort in the cherished memories you hold.
We shall have a memorial service in his honour on Wednesday 10th December at KUTRRH. The cortege leaves KUTRRH Memorial Home on Thursday, 11 December 2025 to his home residence in Kakamega. He will be laid to rest on Saturday, 13 December 2025 in Kakamega County, Shinyalu Subcounty, Khayega Location, Shidodo Sublocation, Imachina Village.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.

A bone scan (SPECT/CT) is an advanced nuclear medicine imaging service that detects bone diseases earlier than regular X-rays. It helps doctors identify issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Uses:
• Oncology: Detect primary bone tumors and identify bone metastases in advanced cancers (breast, prostate, lung, head & neck)
• Non-Oncology: Diagnose osteomyelitis (bone infection), detect loose or infected joint prosthesis, assess bone injuries, and more.

Early detection saves lives! Learn more about how to access our SPECT-CT Services: https://imaging.kutrrh.go.ke/2023/02/kutrrh-spect-ct-bone-scan-now-available/
