Forget the usual KNH vibes of stressed relatives and that antiseptic smell that hits you from the gate. Last week, something wild went down at Kenyatta National Hospital.
Patients in those famous hospital gowns, the ones that never close properly at the back, were spotted shaking what their mama gave them in the corridor. Not because they’d lost it, but because a brilliant doctor decided that the best medicine isn’t always in a syringe.
The occupational therapy squad literally said “tuanze na dance moves” as part of recovery sessions. And Kenyans, we’re not talking about some boring stretches. These wazees and patients were doing full choreography, clapping, laughing, and reminding us that healing doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom.
The atmosphere? Electric. The medical benefits? Real talk, even science agrees that dance gets the blood flowing, helps with balance, and releases those feel-good chemicals that make pain take a backseat.
In a hospital known more for long queues and missing drugs, this moment reminded Kenyans that our healthcare workers can still pull surprises. Imagine recovering faster because of some good vibes and rhythm.
At the end of the day, recovery isn’t just about surviving. Sometimes you need rhythm, laughter, and a doctor who gets it. KNH just proved that healing can be different when you add a little swag to the medicine.
