Heart-rending melodies boomed from top singers such as Cliff Richard, John Lennon, Ray Dorset, Rod Stewart, Lionel Richie, Demis Roussous, Smokey Robinson, Dolly Parton, Karen Carpenter and Bony M

On October 16, 2011, Prominent gynecologist and obstetrician Dr Swarup Ranjan Mishra, led a pack of exhilarated ministers, an assistant minister, businessmen, senior government officials, chief executive officers and other dignitaries, in a grand dance during the historic and colorful inauguration of his new Medi-Heal hospital, located in the outskirts of Nakuru town, Rift Valley Kenya.

It was a moving occasion during the official opening of the hospital equipped with state-of-the art facilities, as Dr Mishra- who was in his happiest moods, led former Health minister prof Anyang Nyongo, ex-Roads minister Frankline Bett, former assistant Roads minister Lee Kinyanjui and other top Kenyan leaders in a memorable jig, before an ecstatic huge crowd- the biggest ever witnessed in Nakuru town in recent times.

Members of the Hindu community were also in attendance during the auspicious inauguration as were people of all walks of life.

Then the rain came suddenly, poured out forcefully and briefly and then surprisingly petered out into a drizzle, warm and soft and quite welcoming.

A benevolent sun shone overhead, its rays soothing the nerves and the muscles splendidly, relaxing them into semi-siesta. A sharp, brilliant rainbow arched against the backdrop of the bright evening.

However, not even an iota of the dramatic climate change deterred the inauguration of the Medi-Heal hospital in Nakuru town.

The inauguration took place close to the town's section 58 region, off the Nairobi/Nakuru highway.

A Nakuru band belted out heart-rending melodies from top singers such as Cliff Richard, John Lennon, Ray Dorset,  Kenny Rogers, Demis Roussous, Smokey Robinson, Dolly Parton, Jimi Hendrix and Africa's music big man Franco alias Luambo Luanzi Makiadi.

Dr Mishra who has endeared himself to Kenyans of all tribes, prof Anyang Nyongo, Frankiline Bett and Lee Kinyanjui shook themselves majestically, dancing rhythmically and methodically to the beat of the music before the jubilant and cheering crowd. What a ceremony to behold!

The VIP's dance progressed for sometime then eventually wound up, paving way for public speeches.

Earlier, the guests made an extensive tour of the hospital getting a feel of all the treatment units, as they noted with appreciation that the hospital would go a long way in responding adequately to the needs of the local populace, owing to its cheap and affordable rates.

Dr Mishra who was widely cheered during his address, and who has embarked on a mission of opening a chain of Medi-Heal hospitals across the country for the benefit of Kenyans, stressed that though he was setting the pace, it was God who was supreme and the one who would perform "the healing wonders".

He urged Nakuru residents and other outlying areas to take advantage of the hospital as it had been incepted to meet their medical needs.

Prof Nyongo said the government fully appreciated Dr Mishra's noble initiatives and would supplement his efforts by providing the necessary assistance.

Nyongo emphasized that the government was committed in meeting the country's medical needs and in creating a healthy nation that would in turn breed rapid development.

Kinyanjui echoed Bett's sentiments saying most local drivers should avoid performing daredevil stunts on the roads to end the frequent rate of horrific accidents.

He stated that Nakuru people were lucky to have the Medi-Heal hospital started by Dr Mishra to cater for their needs.

The event later climaxed into a colorful reception at the Rift Valley Sports Club in the heart of Nakuru town where guests appeased their appetite with drinks and food of all sorts, as Lionel Richie's hit songs "Hello" and "All Night Long", as well as Boney M's iconic "Rasputin" and "Ma Baker" boomed on fast.
