A major operation has been launched to find more than 100 patients who escaped from Mathari hospital in Nairobi on Monday morning.
Management said the patients fled while doctors gathered to take part in a nationwide strike that began today.
“We saw some of the patients jumping over the facility’s walls and trying to cross Thika Superhighway,” a witness told the Star by phone. “I hope this is contained before they are hurt.”
Reports indicated that some of them were found later.
The hospital’s staff members asked police and members of the public for help.
