The Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) is overwhelmed by a surge in patients following an ongoing medics' strike in Kiambu and Nairobi counties. Acting CEO Richard Lesiyampe appealed for a swift resolution to ease the strain on the national referral facility, as most public health services in the affected counties remain paralyzed.

• The KNH Maternity Department, including the Labour Ward and Newborn Unit, is operating at more than twice its normal capacity.
• The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has called on President William Ruto to dissolve the Kiambu County Government due to the unresolved doctor's strike.
• KMPDU alleges sixty-three newborn deaths at Kiambu Level 4 Hospital due to lack of critical care, a figure the county disputes, listing fifty-eight.
