Nurses at a city hospital are on the spot following the death of a patient in what has been termed by the deceased’s kin as negligence. The family of Bernard Odhiambo claims their patient was denied treatment at Mbagathi hospital after being referred from Mama Lucy hospital, both run by the county government of Nairobi. However, the county government and the Mbagathi hospital administration have put a twist on the matter claiming the deceased arrived at the hospital already dead. To them, the patient was referred from Mama Lucy hospital to Mbagathi for lack of isolated wards for TB patients. The county also denies the family had any referral letter from Mama Lucy hospital.
