Despite a standoff between the Kenyan government and Tata Chemicals Magadi, medical services at Magadi Hospital remain uninterrupted following a directive by President William Ruto for the Kajiado County Government to take over management.

• Magadi Hospital, a 54-bed facility, was built, equipped, and operated by Tata Chemicals Magadi, providing subsidized healthcare to the local community.
• President William Ruto directed the takeover due to accusations that Tata Chemicals failed to establish local factories and instead exported raw materials.
• Residents expressed anxiety over potential service disruptions, emphasizing the hospital's role as their primary source for specialized medical care, especially maternity and surgical services, with alternatives being over 100 kilometers away.
