Over 50 women in Kiambu County are overjoyed and celebrating after the county settled a debt of over Ksh6 million at the Thika Level 5 Hospital.
Through the Wamatangi Care, Governor Kimani Wamatangi paid the bill to ensure the women were reunited with their families and no longer be detained in the hospital.
The women comprised mothers who could not raise the hospital bill, underage girls, and foreigners from Burundi were not eligible to register for the Social Health Authority (SHA) also known as Taifa Care and remained stranded in the hospital for months. "The services here are good.
Were it not for my lack of money to clear the bill, this is one facility that has the best service delivery," Josphene Mbeneke, a beneficiary of the program, said.
