The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) Secretary General, Davji Atellah, has slammed the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Council (KMPDC) over its swift closure of the Chiromo hospital branch where Toto Touch CEO Susan Njoki was allegedly killed.
Taking to his official X page shortly after the announcement, Atellah dismissed the decision, terming it as immature and inconvenient to the patients whose immediate evacuation was ordered.
He highlighted the series of murders at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), yet no such repercussions were conveyed to the facility. "The KMPDC's swift, drastic action against the Chiromo Hospitals branch highlights a troubling bias and inconsistency in regulation.
When alleged murders and negligence occurred at KNH, where patients' throats were slit twice, we didn't see calls for patient evacuation or immediate closure," he stated.
