There seems to be a bigger problem at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), arguably East and Central Africa’s largest referral hospital, than meets the eye. The hospital has been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons.

In November 2015, a patient, Cosmas Mutunga, was found murdered in his hospital bed at the Kenyatta National Hospital. The mystery surrounding that death remains unresolved. In August of 2017, another patient, Maurice Chege, committed suicide at the hospital by jumping through a window on the seventh floor.
