The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) has ordered the immediate closure of Chiromo Hospital Group’s Braeside branch in Nairobi following the strangulation death of patient Susan Njoki at the facility. An autopsy confirmed Njoki was killed, with investigations suggesting a staff member's involvement.

• KMPDC instructed Chiromo Braeside to evacuate all patients within 24 hours and cease all clinical services until further notice.
• KMPDC CEO Dr. David Kariuki cited rules under CAP 253 and Legal Notice 171 in the closure directive, emphasizing patient safety.
• Njoki was admitted against her will, as she had previously alleged on social media that her husband, Alloise Ngure, intended to have her injected and taken to a mental facility.
• Founder of Chiromo Hospital Group, Dr. Frank Njenga, expressed remorse and affirmed the hospital's full cooperation with investigators and an internal review of protocols.
