Kenyatta National Hospital has scaled down all elective surgical procedures as the facility seeks to free more staff and space to accommodate the rising cases of Covid-19.

In a memo to all directors and head of departments in the facility dated March 23, the hospital’s Senior Director Clinical Services Dr Irene Inwani, however, noted that emergency surgeries will go on.
