The country’s biggest mental hospital, Mathari, is struggling with capacity issues that have left patients sharing beds and sleeping on the floor, the Auditor-General has revealed.

The audit for the year to June 2024 says that although the hospital had 653 beds, it admitted a higher number of patients, leaving them to share beds for almost nine months.
