The Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) is probing yet another case of an alleged botched surgery.
The hospital is now being accused of rapturing a woman's intestines, just days after the brain surgery mix up.
Susan Nekesa, who is the affected stated that the hospital’s doctors ruptured her intestines during a caesarean process leading to several complications.
The KNH Acting Chief Executive Officer Thomas Mutie said that the management has taken the issue seriously and is committed to take corrective measures to prevent any such incidences from occurring.
“We are aware that the overall quality of service at KNH has recently been subject to public scrutiny. We take this matter seriously and there is an ongoing internal systems audit and procedures with a view to taking corrective measures,” he said.
He also stated that the facts of the matter in the recent incident will be established.The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board has ruled that the institution’s doctors who operated on the wrong patient in the brain surgery mix-up were not to blame.
The probe came as the hospital withdrew the suspension of the trainee doctor who conducted the operationalso, letters of the other medics involved in the surgery.After the mistake was done, KNH suspended the admission rights of a neurosurgery registrar and issued him with a show-cause letter on March 2.
