KAKAMEGA: A doctor at the Kakamega County Referral Hospital became a victim of the ongoing nurses’ strike after he lost his eight-month-old baby at the facility.

This came even as reports from Naivasha indicated three patients had died at the sub-county hospital in the last three days. Eight other patients were reported to have died between Monday and Tuesday at the Coast General Hospital.
