Kiambu County authorities deny that the ongoing doctors' strike has caused an increase in maternal and infant deaths, despite doctors alleging over 150 infant deaths in the past four months. The protracted strike, now in its 133rd day, has led to a critical healthcare paralysis and conflicting accounts of its impact.

• Doctors claim Thika Level 5 Hospital lost 68 babies and Kiambu Level 4 Hospital lost 86 babies between May and September alone.
• Two mothers, Nancy Jepichii and Esther Nduma, recount losing their newborns at Kiambu County hospitals during the strike due to alleged lack of medical personnel.
• Kiambu Health CEC Dr. Elias Maina insists there is "no health crisis" and "hospitals are running as usual," maintaining that no deaths have occurred as a result of the strike.
