Just when you think the Coast General Hospital could not get any worse in terms of negligence cases it finds another way to outdo for it.
Just as the cloud seemed to be falling on the negligence incident that resulted in a woman dying while delivering through cesarian section, another controversy has met the hospital. The hospital is facing accusations of having chased a bleeding woman away when she was taken to the hospital.
The incident was captured on camera and continues to paint the horrible service that civilians have to go through to when seeking help. Here is the video and a witnesses's narration
I live near moons cinema area of Mombasa and today at around 7.30pm a lady came stumbling into the hairdressing salon opposite my house. She was bleeding heavily and couldnt speak. The hairdresser called me and a friend to assist and we helped the lady into a tuktuk
And rushed her to Tononoka police station to file a report as we knew it would be needed as she had definately been assaulted . The police were extremely helpfull and speedily wrote out the OB. And even helped the lady back in the tuk tuk and they advised us to rush her to hospital.
We got to the Coast General Hospital and rushed in helping the lady into the hospital. We asked for immediate assistance from a doctor and one promptly appeared.
NOW THIS IS THE REALLY SAD PART.....
The doctor took one look at the lady and shouted out to the guards to immediately remove her from the hospital. We were duly shocked and asked him why he was doing this to which he casually replied " she is too dirty we cant treat her " As you can imagine i went mad ! So we were all thrown out of the hospital and i think the rest of this sad story you can watch the clip we managed to film on our phone and decide for your selves the direction our health services in this beloved country is going. The guards did try to snatch the phone from us when they realised we were filming but we managed to walk away....
