The health watchdog has shut down 60 more hospitals in Nakuru County, bringing the number affected in a national crackdown to 260 in three weeks.

The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentist Council (KMPDC) stated that it permanently closed 44 hospitals for gross violation of its guidelines, including defaulting on licence renewal and for not offering requisite services, while 16 had a partial closure.
