Nurses at Kenyatta National Hospital have officially joined the nationwide strike.

KNH nurses have cited heavy workloads as one of the main reason behind their industrial action.

The nurses said they had decided to go on strike in solidarity with their colleagues in the counties.

Although they are not in dispute with their employer (the Ministry of Health), the nurses have claimed that the number of patients seeking treatment at the facility is too high compared to the available human resource.
