Outrage on social media after KNH surgeon opens wrong patient's skull

Kenya’s largest referral hospital, Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), is making the headlines again for all the wrong reasons, this time with a brain surgery performed on the wrong patient. The hospital’s Chief Executive Officer CEO Lily Koros on Thursday evening said the hospital had suspended the four medics who were at work on the fateful night including the neurosurgeon, the ward nurse, theatre receiving nurse, and the anesthetist.

Dear Hon. Sicily Kariuki, Minister for Health .... Kindly dissolve the Board Of Directors & the top Management Of Kenyatta National Hospital, the biggest Hospital in Eastern Africa... The many mishaps is symptomatic of deep Systemic Rot. KNH needs Fresh Start, not Reforms.— Donald B Kipkorir (@DonaldBKipkorir) March 1, 2018

Lily Koros CEO of Kenyatta National Hospital should have resigned by now, If indeed she has a heart. KNH has been ran down. It is now the most dangerous hospital in Kenya to visit.— Lord Mutai (@ItsMutai) March 2, 2018

Theft of babies.

Rape Allegations.

And now a brain surgery on the wrong patient.

Kenyatta National Hospital is becoming synonymous with scandal.

But the CEO and Board continue to draw Fat salaries.

Shameful. Resign. Take responsibility.

Oh my God! Brain surgery on the wrong patient? I hope the person recovers well. But what is really happening at Kenyatta National Hospital? Rape cases, theft of newborns, etc.

What is the worst that must happen at KNH for there to be a change of management? Really what?

So, a surgeon at Kenyatta National Hospital conducted a brain surgery on a wrong person? How on earth do u start operating on a wrong patient? Or was it a mortuary attendant again? Something must be done asap. The board of KNH should be dissolved, doctors taken for retraining! ????— juma (@jumaf3) March 2, 2018

Kenyatta National Hospital CEO Lily Koros ought to leave her position, who has has become untenable after recent strings of blunders. Someone else needs to steer the facility with immediate effect.— Saddique Shaban (@SaddiqueShaban) March 1, 2018
