Just recently, a patient died after being left unattended for 18hours in an ambulance in one of Kenya’s leading health facilities. A month later, a pregnant mother suffered the same fate in Kakamega County after being left unattended for 14hours albeit this time she was admitted into the wards.
These are just a few cases that have been reported but there are numerous cases out there that go unreported. For instance, for any woman has been lucky enough to go to a hospital and deliver, can attest to the kind of trauma, abuses and insults they undergo at the hands of the nurses during clinics visits and delivery periods.
