  • Residents raised the alarm over what they describe as relentless nighttime and early morning noise from ongoing construction at the health facility.
  • Under guidelines enforced by the Nema and the National Construction Authority, noisy construction work is permitted only between 8am and 5pm.
  • Construction work is prohibited on weekends.

Nairobi residents living next to Coptic Hospital along Kindaruma Road have raised the alarm over what they describe as relentless nighttime and early morning noise from ongoing construction at the health facility.

The distressed residents say the ongoing construction has made it impossible for families to sleep, accusing the hospital of ignoring complaints and operating without following environmental regulations on noise pollution.
