Now, due to a looming health crisis, service delivery at Kenyatta National Hospital ground to a halt earlier today as nurses downed their tools, sparking a major disruption at the country’s largest referral facility. The striking nurses are citing a litany of grievances, from chronic understaffing and delayed remittances to what they describe as inadequate medical cover that locks them out of the very quality care they provide. They are also demanding the full implementation of their service and uniform allowances, as provided for in the 2017 return-to-work agreement, insisting the promises made remain unfulfilled.
