Reportedly, the woman in question was denied access to the Pumwani Maternity Hospital forcing her to give birth at the gate.
Kenyans on social media did not take this lightly. They blamed the Pumwani Nurses for not helping.
“Ng’ombe mbili zikipigana, nyasi huumia.While senate & Governors are busy fighting, women who expect services from hospitals like Pumwani are being turned away, this is not acceptable Not in 2020 Imagine when citizens have to fight to get services at a Government hospital.” Syombua A. Kibue wrote
According to Esther Pasarris, Nairobi Women representative, the incident happened last week and the woman in question was eventually attended to by the Pumwani Nurses.
“Pumwani Hospital informs me that the incident took place a week ago, and that nurses eventually attended to mother and baby who are currently doing fine. It’s imperative that gaps in our healthcare systems are sealed, starting with grievances that lead to go-slows. @Senate_KE
My office is actively tracking down the family to ensure their well being. Meanwhile, I call on my fellow leaders, particularly Senators who are mandated to oversight devolved health services to address this matter with urgency. Pumwani’s gates should not have been closed” Tweeted Esther Passaris.
