The Nakuru Level 5 Hospital has moved to speed up the release of patients detained over the Social Health Authority (SHA) payment delay after an expose by our sister publication- the Saturday Standard.
A spot check by The Standard discovered that the beds were almost empty as unlike the Friday scene, where the pediatric ward was full with patients sharing beds.
Among the 132 children who underwent congenital surgeries during a medical camp at the facility, 81 of them had been released by Saturday.
A parent, who spoke to The Standard on condition of anonymity, said several patients were released after the story was aired on KTN on Friday. "We were told that the story was aired and published, so the medics confirmed our release; they claimed they were going to release us," she said.
