Expectant women and sick children are among those paying the heaviest price as a nurses’ strike continues to cripple services in public health facilities across Nakuru County, with maternity wings closed and patients turned away.
For mothers expecting to deliver, the fear is no longer only about childbirth; it is about where they will go when labour starts.
A spot-check by The Standard revealed several public health facilities in Nakuru have suspended maternity and nursing services after nurses employed by the county government joined the ongoing strike, leaving patients scrambling for alternative care.
