A Sh500 million project to build a dedicated children’s hospital at the Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral, and Research Hospital (Kutrrh) has stalled at the foundation stage for a decade, leaving the facility incomplete nearly seven years after its planned completion date.

Kenyatta University records list July 2014 as the project’s start date, with completion originally expected in December 2019.
