Kiambu Hospitals Function Despite Doctors' Strike: A Report

Kiambu Hospital Operations Continue Amidst Doctors' Strike A video circulating on social media claims that despite a recent doctors' strike in Kiambu, Kenya, hospital services are functioning normally. The video, posted by Shujaa Humphrey on May 29, 2025, shows hospital staff going about their duties, ambulances present, and patients receiving care. However, the video's narrative is challenged by the author's own admission that some doctors did not report to work. "Services at the Kiambu Hospitals are going on as usual. Forget the hot air in the name of 'mgomo wa madaktari.' The doctors are serving people. Only a few refused to report to work," states Humphrey in his video description. This statement, while seemingly reassuring, lacks the full context of the situation. The strike's impact and the number of doctors involved remain unclear. Further investigation is needed to provide a complete and unbiased view of the situation. A balanced report should include statements from both the striking doctors and hospital management to offer a complete perspective on the matter. The video, while providing a glimpse into the hospital's operations, is insufficient to fully assess the strike's effects on patient care.
