Our Nurses, Our Future.
From kangaroo care to innovation that gives newborns a fighting chance, empowered nurses save lives.
As NNAK, we’re proud to be associated with Joan Basweti, our member, for this impactful work, a true example of what nurses achieve with the right support. We also appreciate Kenyatta National Hospital for standing behind her.

Nursing is not just a profession — it is leadership, expertise, and the backbone of our health system.

We firmly reject any narrative that undermines the role of nurses in leadership and health system governance. Such remarks not only misrepresent the profession but also erode the dignity of those who serve at the frontline and beyond.

We call for respect, accountability, and informed discourse in matters affecting healthcare professionals.

The voice of nursing must be heard. The dignity of nurses must be upheld.

The National Nurses Association of Kenya has condemned remarks by Farah Maalim, terming them disrespectful and an attack on the nursing profession. Speaking in Mombasa, NNAK President Collins Otieno said the comments violated parliamentary conduct rules and amounted to gender-based disrespect against healthcare workers.

The association has demanded an immediate apology, warning of nationwide protests if the MP fails to respond within seven days. Otieno also criticised the remarks as showing a lack of understanding of Kenya’s health systems and governance, emphasising that nurses remain the backbone of service delivery across the country.

“We demand an apology letter immediately; otherwise, we will march to Parliament to call for his dismissal for disrespecting and abusing nurses,” Otieno said.

Chaired a consultative meeting with the National Nurses Association of Kenya (NNAK) delegation, led by Chairperson Collins Otieno Ojwang, during a courtesy visit to deliberate on key issues affecting nurses and healthcare delivery.

Nurses remain a critical pillar of the health sector, constituting about 70% of the workforce, and are central to advancing Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

Our discussions focused on practical strategies to enhance quality of care, with particular emphasis on strengthening training in antenatal care (ANC), now a national priority.

We also reflected on the upcoming International Nurses Day, to be observed from 6th to 12th May 2026 under the theme, 'Our Nurses. Our Future. Empowered Nurses Save Lives.'

The week will provide an opportunity to accelerate community-based programmes and health campaigns while recognising the vital role nurses play in saving lives.

As a Ministry, we affirm nurses as the backbone of the healthcare system, working alongside Community Health Promoters (CHPs) to deliver essential services. Ongoing reforms continue to strengthen primary healthcare, expand access and improve quality outcomes for all Kenyans.

I was joined in the meeting by Director General for Health Dr. Patrick Amoth, Ministry’s Director of Curative and Nursing Services Dr. Andrew Toro, Registrar of the Nursing Council of Kenya Dr. Lister Onsongo, Representatives from Johnson and Johnson alongside Ministry’s Technical Teams.

Stop everything you are doing.

Forget everything else any MP said today.

Or will say tomorrow.

And,

Watch this video.

Because this is the only video you should watch today.

Now retweet this video.

Because every Kenyan needs to hear Hon. Robert Mbui FEARLESSLY saying what every Kenyan wants to tell Ruto.

In Parliament.
