The Kenya National Union of Nurses has withdrawn nurses and suspended operations at Port Victoria Level Four Hospital in Budalang'i, Busia county after healthcare workers on duty were assaulted.

A viral video clip captured an unidentified woman and man harassing hospital staff on duty while demanding that she attend to their patient with breathing complications, despite a long queue of patients at the facility on Wednesday night.

On Thursday, while at Nangina Mission Hospital in Funyula constituency in the company of Health CS Susan Nakhumicha, KNUN Secretary General Seth Panyako said they have withdrawn staff at Port Victoria Hospital until the culprits are arrested and prosecuted.
