Titus Gathutu Theuri, a Kenyan diplomat who was living in Borehamwood, UK, flew to Kenya for an emergency meeting last year.
However, his visit took a tragic turn when he was hospitalised and later passed away.
His widow, Beth Njeri, has sued Metropolitan Hospital, not over medical negligencebut over the cost of care.
She says Gathutu spent two months in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
