The Karen Hospital sues a patient who is held at its buildings, unable to pay Ksh.23 million hospital bill.
According to the court records, the victim Mrs Jackline Nelima Mutaki has been at the hospital since February 16, 2019.
She had been admitted for an elective caesarean section after encountering an obstetric ultrasound.
The Hospital’s CEO Betty Gikonyo noted that after the regular preparation for the Cesarean Section, spinal anaesthesia was applied but the patient developed complications.
“That the procedure was delayed for some minutes to enable the patient to be resuscitated and after the operation, the patient was taken to the High Dependency Unit for post-operative management,” the court papers say.
Mrs Jackline has been undergoing airway maintenance and physiotherapy as she proceeds to get treated for intermittent chest infections.
According to the hospital, efforts to reach her family did not bore any fruits as they appear to have disappeared.
The Karen hospital administration now wants the court to allow them to discharge the patient for home-based care or grant consent for her referral her to KNH.
However, the court said that it will only hear the case if the hospital revises the petition or takes actions on the matter. The case will be mentioned on September 23.
