The Kenyatta University students admitted at Avenue Hospital, Parklands in Nairobi, are in stable condition, the hospital said.
Principal Secretary for University Education and Research Dr Beatrice Inyangala visited them.
The students sustained injuries in a road accident at Maungu in Voi.
Inyangala wished the students quick recovery and urged them to be courageous.
The students were on a trip to Mombasa when their bus hit a trailer on Monday night.
Eleven students died while 21 others sustained serious injuries.
Avenue Hospital manager Dr Said Mohammed said they received 18 accident survivors whom health personnel stabilised.
“We are happy that 17 of the patients admitted here are in stable condition,” Mohammed said on Wednesday. He took the Principal Secretary around the wards where the students are admitted.
Only one accident victim is still in critical condition, he said.
Of the 18 survivors at the hospital, 12 are female and six male students.
PS Inyangala led a government team comprising the CEOs of Higher Education Loans Board Charles Ringera, Commission for University Education Prof Mike Kuria, Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service Agnes Wahome, University Funding BoardGeoffrey Monari and National Research Fund Dickson Andala.
Between January and February, road accidents across the country have claimed 649 lives, the National Transport and Safety Authority reported.
The statistics are an increase compared to the 623 recorded during a similar period in 2023.
Pedestrians lead in fatalities at 252, compared to 190 recorded last year.
Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has announced the immediate commencement of a nationwide crackdown to curb road accidents.
Speaking in Kisumu on Tuesday, the CS said the crackdown will target all unroadworthy vehicles, drivers, riders and pedestrians.
The CS directed law enforcement agencies to immediately develop and implement a nationwide programme for traffic law enforcement to stem the devastating tide of deaths and injuries arising from road accidents.
"We must obey traffic rules, we must all work together and clean our roads from all manner of rogue road users who are careless," Kindiki said.
"It's up to Kenyans to save ourselves because these deaths are too much and premature."
The programme will be run by the Traffic Department of the Kenya Police Service and the National Transport Safety Authority.
CS Kindiki insisted that officers must strictly enforce the law and fight reported corruption on the roads.
"Any law enforcement officer engaging in corruption on the roads or elsewhere will be severely punished," he said.
The CS stated that corruption was a big contributor to road accidents.
“People driving unroadworthy vehicles end up giving bribes and they get away without being punished and in the process we end up having these accidents," Kindiki said.
Earlier, Kindiki raised concerns over the increase in road fatalities in the country.
The CS noted that deaths from road accidents are competing with serious epidemics.
