The Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital is feeling the effects of a crippling strike of medical staff in Nyamira County.

The hospital is conducting about 50 deliveries in a day, up from an average of 25. One-third of them are C-sections. Last Friday, there were 32 deliveries. This means the medical staff have to work extra hours.
