The government has been urged to conduct reforms in all public healthcare facilities to improve service delivery.
Mourners at the burial of Travis Maina Kung’u, a two-year-old boy whose photos flickered on social media having a fork jembe lodged in his head regretted the growing trend of doctors failing to dispense care to patients before they make upfront payments.
Led by Joakim Njama, the Ngoliba ward MCA where the accident happened, the mourners took issue with Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) staffers for delaying to attend to the emergency that left most Kenyans shocked.
Earlier, Kenyans expressed the power of unity on social media after they helped to raise Ksh500,000 for the family of Baby Travis.
In a statement by philanthropist, Karangu Muraya on Thursday, October 13, Kenyans of goodwill had raised over half a million in the funds drive to give baby Travis a befitting sendoff after he succumbed to excessive loss of blood owing to a fork jembe lodged in his head
The philanthropist took to his social media to air the plight of Judy Muthoni, Maina’s mother and urged well-wishers to support her family. On Thursday morning, a total of Ksh300,000 had been raised.
“God bless you all for supporting mama Travis, we have managed to support her with more than Ksh500,000. This beautiful soul will be laid to rest at Kilimambogo,” Muraya said.
