Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) has appealed to members of the public to help trace the family of a patient who was admitted to the facility under unclear circumstances.
The patient, identified as Nicholas Nzau, was brought to the hospital on October 14, 2026, as an emergency case by individuals whose identities remain unknown.
According to the hospital, Nicholas was left at its Intensive Treatment Centre (ITC)/Accident and Emergency (A&E) Department, prompting efforts to establish his identity and locate his relatives.
In an appeal to the public, KNH disclosed that Nicholas reportedly comes from Kitoo, Mutomo Sub-County, in Kitui County.
The hospital is now seeking assistance from anyone who might recognise him, know his relatives or have information about his family and place of origin.
Members of the public who may have useful information have been urged to come forward to help reunite Nicholas with his loved ones.
The appeal comes as hospitals sometimes face challenges tracing relatives of patients brought in during emergencies, particularly when those accompanying them leave before providing sufficient identification or contact information.
Anyone with information about Nicholas Nzau or his family is encouraged to contact Kenyatta National Hospital through its official communication channels.
