What you need to know:

  • Kenya Union of Clinical Officers castigated the attack, stating that similar incidents have been distressingly commonplace for nurses.
  • Sports and Culture Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba distanced himself from the woman’s actions and condemned her behaviour.

Umbrella bodies representing healthcare professionals, including doctors and nurses, have condemned a viral video in which a nurse on duty is being harassed by two disgruntled individuals at a hospital in Port Victoria, Busia County.

The clip, which goes on for almost four minutes and which has been circulated widely on social media, captures a woman, who was accompanied by an equally unruly man, unleashing a storm of verbal abuse directed at the nurse while invoking the name of a prominent politician.
