Three level six hospitals, including Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), held more than half of Sh14.1 billion debts by health facilities to suppliers and other creditors by June 2024, exposing them to the risk of having supplies withheld.

A report by Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu reveals that Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH), Kenyatta University Teaching Referral and Research Hospital (KUTRRH) and KNH held Sh7.4 billion of total debts by health institutions.
