Ms Akinyi had before that visited Avenue Hospital but doctors found no problem with her. She was rushed to the referral hospital when her condition deteriorated. “We were shocked to be told to transfer her to a private hospital because doctors were on strike,” Ms Akinyi’s sister Mary Odondo said.

We can handle some patients but admissions are out of question for now because of the strike,” hospital chief executive Peter Okoth told the Nation.
