The Kenyan Senate has intervened in a protracted dispute between Kenyatta University and the Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral and Research Hospital (KUTRRH), which has prevented medical students from accessing crucial clinical training. The Senate Committee on Health issued a strong ultimatum, demanding resolution by September 2025.

• The conflict stems from institutional disagreements over access and management rights at KUTRRH, despite its proximity and state-of-the-art facilities.
• Senator Jackson Mandago, the Committee Chair, emphasized that student welfare "is not negotiable," prioritizing the production of qualified medical professionals.
• A Joint Implementation Committee has been ordered for structured mediation between the Vice-Chancellor of Kenyatta University and the CEO of KUTRRH, with a progress report due by September.
