Over 60 students at Kalyet Secondary School in Kericho were rushed to hospital on Monday after experiencing stomach pains that started after eating suspected contaminated food.
The students are reported to have eaten githeri as their lunch after which some of them began complaining of stomach pains.
The first cohort of 47 students, whose symptoms had persisted, was rushed to the Londiani Sub County Hospital on Monday morning, including 9 boys and 38 girls.
The majority of them are reported to have shown early vomiting symptoms that persisted overnight.
The hospital, however, warned that it risked running out of capacity to attend to the students, should the cases increase, due to what they termed as a lack of space to manage the situation.
”We have managed to treat all of them, and all are stable after receiving medications ranging from antibiotics to fluids,” a medical superintendent at the facility told the press.
”The challenge we have had with handling most of them is space. Our outpatient department is severely over-utilised, especially with these mass incidents, and we would appeal for assistance with the expansion process,” he added.
