Kiambu Hospital Open Despite Doctors' Strike Claims: Video Shows Normal Operations

Kiambu Hospital Functions Despite Doctors' Strike Claims Kiambu, Kenya – Reports of a widespread doctors' strike at Kiambu County Referral Level 5 Hospital have been challenged by a recent video report from Kikuyu Nation TV. The video, filmed on May 29, 2025, shows hospital services continuing as normal. The footage depicts doctors and nurses attending to patients and various hospital departments operating. "Services at the Kiambu Hospitals are going on as usual. Forget the hot air in the name of 'mgomo wa madaktari'," states the video's narrator, refuting claims of a major disruption. The video suggests that only a small number of doctors have failed to report for work. While the video provides visual evidence, it lacks interviews with hospital staff or patients to fully corroborate the claim. Further investigation is needed to ascertain the full extent of any staff shortages and their impact on services. However, the video offers a contrasting perspective to initial reports of a complete shutdown. The hospital administration has yet to release an official statement regarding the reported strike and its impact on hospital operations.
