Three shot dead in Embu protests over poor hospital services - April 2026

Three people were tragically shot dead during protests in Embu, Kenya, over the dire state of services at Ishiara Level Four Hospital. The demonstration highlighted severe concerns regarding the state of healthcare facilities in the area. Nakuru Level 5 Hospital is reportedly on the verge of collapse due to alleged neglect by the government, facing critical shortages and operational challenges. Nurses at Kenyatta National Hospital have returned to work following a successful negotiation with the government regarding their new deal. Health stakeholders in Nairobi's Kasarani sub-county are urging the government to intensify public awareness campaigns on the importance of enrolling in the Community Health Fund (SHA).
