A family has claimed that their kin who should have undergone brain surgery died after the shocking mix-up conspired with fate to deny him the life saving procedure at the Kenyatta National Hospital in Nairobi.

Angelos Miano Muthee, a second year Bachelor of Commerce student at the University of Nairobi lay in his hospital bed even as his family pleaded with nurses to have him attended to, while just a few metres away, the doctors were busy opening the skull of a patient who should not have gone under the scalpel.
