Abstract
This study examined the effects of implementation of corporate governance reforms on
delivery of health care services in Embu Level Five Hospital. This study explored the
independence and autonomy of the appointed board of directors, examined conflict of interest
between appointed management and the board of directors and assessed effects of
implementation of corporate governance procedures on service delivery in Embu Level Five
Hospital. This study was anchored on two complementary theories namely; the agency and
the stewardship theories. A total of 380 respondents were selected for field interviews.
Findings from the study indicated that although the adoption of corporate governance
procedures in Embu Level Five Hospital has translated to improvement of the delivery of
health care services to patients there still exist challenges of lack of an independent and
autonomous board of directors and the existence of conflict of interest among managers
entrusted with the running of the hospital.
