Machakos Eyesore: Governor Mutua Responds After Larry Madowo Shared Viral Video Of Doctors And Nurses In Machakos Hospital Refusing To Attend To Accident Victim (Video)
Ever since County Governments came into operation, Machakos County and in particular Machakos Level 5 Hospital has always been the public health facility that everyone said was a model to emulate. But after a viral video exposed the rot at the hospital, not many will hold that perspective.
Is it that the government is employing coldhearted psychopaths as doctors and nurses? A while ago a patient at Kakamega hospital died after battling for her life for 14 hours while receiving no attention from doctors and nurses.
Another case of negligence happened at one place that you wouldn’t expect health workers to neglect patients.
A Good Samaritan took a victim of hit and run accident to Machakos Level 5 Hospital and he had such a difficult time convincing doctors and nurses to attend to the man.
Jacob Ouma (Jobby) captured the shocking moment on his phone and NTV’s Larry Madowo shared it online until it grasped the attention of Machakos Governor, Dr. Alfred Mutua.
“I have instructed my Minister for Health to undertake investigations and to take appropriate action concerning the poor treatment of patients at Machakos Hospital’s casualty.
Human dignity and professional conduct must be exercised. Machakos will not tolerate shoddy and unprofessional conduct by its officers.
Due to Maendeleo Chap Chap, Machakos hospitals are the cleanest and most organized in the country. This, though, has to be matched with efficient and caring services, kindness, proper medical care and respect for the dignity of life. What happens in other regions will not be tolerated in Machakos.” Governor Mutua’s reaction to the video.
