The Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) has once again been put on the spot over allegations of ignoring a 'poor' patient.
A woman has alleged she was denied healthcare service at the hospital for failing to pay the amount of money needed.
Through 'Sema Ukweli Kenya' Facebook page owned by controversial Nairobi human rights activist Boniface Mwangi, the woman said her patient spent the night in cold at the Kenyatta National Hospital after being denied services.
"My patient spent the night here but they did not bother to serve her, they kept on asking the patient 'where are your people, your people have not come?" she said.
The mother alleged that while other patients were being asked to pay Sh700 for one of the required cards before proceeding for medications, she was being overcharged for the same card.
"I told them you are charging Sh700 for other patients but why are you asking me for Sh1950," she added.
She said that her patient, whom she identified as Esther, was her sister. She suffers from cervical cancer and had been receiving treatment from Kenyatta Hospital before they turned her out on that particular day.
"We have been coming here, we are not new, we have been camping in room 66, but now they are doing this to me," she decried as seen in the video.
Easter stays with her sister after her husband abandoned her. It is the sister on casual jobs who takes care of her and her kids.
This is not the first case for KNH to spotted for such allegations. In last year, we reported a similar case where a patient died for alleged negligence.
The facility is yet to issue a comment on the latest case.
