Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) has urged patients seeking non-emergency care to consider other health facilities as the ongoing health workers’ strike continues to push patient numbers up at the national referral hospital.
In a statement, the hospital said the strike has increased patient volumes, resulting in congestion, long queues, extended waiting times and delays in accessing treatment, particularly for non-emergency services.
“As a national referral hospital, KNH is receiving more patients who would ordinarily access services at county and other health facilities. This has resulted in longer waiting times and delays, particularly for emergency services,” KNH said in a statement.
