A section of Kenyatta National Hospital was temporarily turned into an examination centre for three (3) candidates who sat their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education exams on March 14th March, 2022.

The examination took place across 10,413 centers countrywide where it was being supervised by various assigned Teacher Service Commission officers.

The concerned authorities from Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC), invigilators, and security personnel were set to ensure that the three (3) candidates managed to write and complete their examinations from the Hospital.

The students had various underlying conditions; one (1) burns victim, and two (2) of them were orthopedic cases.

Mr. Andrea Mogi, Senior Nursing Officer at KNH said: “Though admitted, the students were medically capable of sitting for their exams as per the medical assessments. The students have assured us that they are well prepared and fully capable of doing their exams.”

The candidates did their exams with a medical team on standby to handle any arising health issues.

The Hospital provided a spacious and secluded space that was away from other patients hence perfect environment for examination and revision. He also commended the support of the parents for their children.
