Patients at The Nairobi Hospital can breathe a sigh of relief after management suspended its proposed price hikes, which were due to take effect today August 12.

This follows a consultative meeting on Monday with major insurance providers who had protested against the revised rates, some of which had risen by up to 61 per cent. The insurers included CIC, Britam, Old Mutual, AAR, and Minet.
