The Kenyan government has backed an initiative by Kenyan TikTokers to construct an ultra-modern hospital providing free healthcare. Head of Presidential Special Projects and Creative Economy Coordination, Dennis Itumbi, lauded the plan as brilliant and aligned with President William Ruto's goal of expanding healthcare.

• The initiative aligns with President Ruto's plan to build 70 new hospitals across the country, currently undertaken by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF).
• The idea was inspired by a 17-year-old TikToker, "Kaluma Boy," who documented caring for his stroke-stricken father, leading to an outpouring of public support.
• The proposed hospital aims to offer free medical services for special cases, addressing challenges in Kenya's public healthcare system.
