Kenyatta National Hospital could delay closure of walk-in patients due to incomplete renovations in the Level 5 hospitals. “We are deliberating with MOH until and unless we have all the health systems running in Nairobi, it will be unfair to close KNH,” he said. On May 12, NMS announced that KNH will close its doors to walk-in patients and only handle referrals from next month. The Mathare- Korogocho hospital which is also being renovated will be a Level 5 facility set to decongest Mama Lucy. The facility is set to be opened next month if Treasury releases Sh200 million which NMS is requesting to have the hospital opened.
