This comes a month after MTRH warned members of the public against a fake training advertisement circulating on social media.

"Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) wishes to notify members of the public to disregard a fraudulent post circulating on social media purporting to advertise training opportunities at the hospital," the statement read.
The hospital clarified that all official notices, including training opportunities and job advertisements, are only published through authorized platforms.
"Please note that all official MTRH advertisements, training opportunities, job vacancies, and notices are communicated through MyGov publication and the official MTRH website only," the statement added.
The referral hospital also advised the public to avoid sharing sensitive personal information or sending money in response to the fake posts.
"Members of the public are advised not to share personal information or make any payments in response to such fraudulent posts. For verified information, kindly refer to official MTRH communication platforms," the statement concluded.
