Doctors at the Nairobi Hospital have issued a notice threatening to down their tools if the hospital’s board of directors does not resign by midnight tonight.
The doctors, represented by the Kenya Hospital Association and the Admitting Staff Association, cite concerns over governance and a desire to “save the Nairobi Hospital” as the driving force behind their ultimatum.
This announcement comes ahead of an already scheduled Extraordinary General Meeting of the Kenya Hospital Association, set to take place on September 18th at the Radisson Blu Hotel – Upper Hill.
The doctors are urging all members of the association to attend this meeting, which will be crucial in determining the future of the hospital.
The doctors allege a “crisis in governance” at the Nairobi Hospital, directly blaming the current board of management. They are demanding an immediate resignation of the board and have vowed to continue their strike until their demands are met.
Impact on Patients:
This impending strike will have a significant impact on healthcare services at the Nairobi Hospital. Starting midnight, the hospital will cease accepting new admissions. Doctors will only be attending to:
- Patients currently admitted in the wards
- Emergency cases
- Patients at their private clinics
Call for Public Support:
The doctors are appealing to the public for support in their fight to “save the Nairobi Hospital.” They are urging anyone who values quality healthcare to rally behind them and demand the resignation of the current board. The doctors believe that a change in leadership is necessary to ensure the continued provision of high-quality healthcare at the Nairobi Hospital.
This is a developing story, and we will continue to provide updates as they become available.
