Following the tragic death of Edward Maingi Ndegwa at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has ordered a nationwide security overhaul in all Kenyan hospitals. Duale described the incident as an "unacceptable system failure" and called for immediate reforms to enhance patient safety and accountability.

• All national referral hospitals must conduct full security audits and implement corrective measures, including improving CCTV surveillance in sensitive areas.
• New measures include anonymous call monitoring systems, tighter visitor controls, and mandatory identity and vehicle details for all individuals, including police officers, who bring patients to hospitals.
• The ministry is also addressing the issue of 443 abandoned patients, launching a rapid response force to reconnect them with families and support those without homes.
