Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) on Wednesday, July 22, issued a statement two days after a patient went missing from the facility in mysterious circumstances.
According to KNH, the patient was brought into the hospital by the family members but was reported missing while awaiting admission.
“We regret to report an incident that occurred on July 20, 2020, at our main facility where a patient was noted missing during the process of his admission.
“The 53-year-old male patient was brought to the hospital by his family and upon review by our emergency care team, was recommended for admission,” read a statement from the hospital in part.
The family of the patient had to leave him under care to head back home before to beat the night-to-dawn curfew.
From the hospital’s preliminary investigations, the patient left the Accident and Emergency area while awaiting transfer to the ward.
KNH states it then immediately contacted his next of kin to inform them of the incident upon realizing that the patient went missing from the facility. The hospital went ahead to report the matter to the police who are now working with KNH to find the missing patient.
Investigations are ongoing to establish the whereabouts of the patient and upon the establishment of the facts with KNH management promising to take appropriate action.
The hospital further stated that their priority now is to find the patient and connect him with his family and to provide appropriate healthcare.
