Doctors' and Nurses' Strikes Overwhelm Hospitals in Nairobi, Kiambu, and Siaya Counties - October 2025

The nurses' strike in Siaya County has entered its third week as they demand compensation for 20 of their colleagues injured during recent protests. In Kiambu, an ongoing doctors' strike is severely affecting health service delivery. The industrial action in both Nairobi and Kiambu counties has led to a significant increase in patient numbers at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), which is struggling to cope with the influx. The strain is also being felt at Murang’a Level 5 Hospital, which has been affected by an increasing number of patients. Amidst the crisis, the Kiambu County government has denied claims that mothers and newborns are dying as a result of the doctors' strike.
