The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists’ Union (KMPDU) has rescheduled its mass demonstration in Kiambu County from October 8, 2025, to October 13, 2025, to allow for more consultations. This comes amid a dispute over newborn deaths, with doctors accusing county governments of systemic failure and negligence, while the county's Chief Officer for Health Services denies the figures as alarmist.

• The demonstration was moved from Wednesday, October 8, 2025, to Monday, October 13, 2025.
• The Secretary General, Dr. Davji Atellah of KMPDU, criticized the Council of Governors (CoG) for dismissing reports of newborn deaths as "pure mischief."
• The county's Chief Officer for Health Services, Patrick Nyagah, claimed the reported figures of deaths were "alarmist and inaccurate" and deliberately inflated.
