Kisumu Governor Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o has expressed condolences following the death of Dr. George Rae, the former Chief Executive Officer of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTHR).
In a statement on Saturday, Nyong’o described Dr. Rae as “an exceptional servant of the people – an accomplished clinician, visionary administrator, and a gentle yet firm leader whose dedication to public healthcare transformed institutions and touched countless lives.”
Dr. Rae handed over leadership of JOOTHR in February 2024 but continued to serve as a healthcare advisor in Kisumu County’s Department of Medical Services.
Governor Nyong’o remembered him as a mentor who valued teamwork, listened carefully, and approached every challenge with both learning and leadership.
“On behalf of the County Government of Kisumu and myself, I extend our deepest sympathies to his family at this difficult time,” he said.
