Nairobi Hospital says there is no cholera outbreak at the hospital.

This is contrary to the fact that a member of staff had died of the disease and up-to six reportedly admitted in the hospital.

A statement from the hospital, however, admits that eight staff members were affected by the disease. Shockingly, the hospital says those affected are as a result of patients admitted in the hospital following a cholera outbreak in various parts of the country.
