Family of a 11-year-old girl from Molo, Nakuru County is seeking for justice after their daughter who went for an eye surgery at the PCEA Kikuyu Mission hospital in Kiambu County in December 2018, only to leave with missing teeth.
According to Martha Wanjiku, the girl’s mother, her daughter, Caren, had accompanied her to the field when a panga pieced her eye.
“Caren was with Nyambura cutting grass and a cow began moving towards them. So Caren bent to pick a stick to chase the cow, in the process of bending the panga she was using pierced her,” narrated Wanjiku.
According to a report by Citizen TV, Caren and the mother proceeded to Nakuru Provincial General Hospital to seek treatment. However, they were referred to PCEA Kikuyu hospital due to lack of doctors to perform the cornea repair surgery.
The patient went into surgery at 4:30 pm but took too long. This made her mother anxious and when she inquired from a nurse, Wanjiku was accused of giving her daughter food before surgery, hence complicated the procedure.
‘I did not give her any food. I only gave her a slice of bread and tea as I had been instructed,” Wanjiku narrated
