In Nyanza and Western hospitals, patients were left unattended and, in many cases, relatives had to take care of their sick. Relatives had to dress their patients’ wounds or pay some nurses between Sh300-Sh400 to have them clean the wounds. In Mbita Subcounty Hospital, patients who turned up to collect ARV drugs returned home empty-handed. At the Kisii County Teaching and Referral Hospital, all nurses had left the facility, leaving patients unattended to. This was also witnessed at the Migori Referral Hospital, where relatives were forced to dress and clean their patients’ wounds.
