The appellate court in Nairobi has ordered Aga Khan University Hospital and a Neurologist, Dr Donald Oyatsi, to pay Sh4.350,000 million to the parents whose daughter died from meningitis due to misdiagnosis.
Justices DK Musinga, M Ngugi and GV Odunga upheld Justice Joseph Surgeon’s verdict dated April 12, 2018, that found the hospital and Dr Oyatsi liable for the minor’s death.
Sylvester Kisonzo and his wife Beriah Warue sued the hospital and the doctor for misdiagnosis and poor management, including failure to conduct necessary tests to detect meningitis.
The parents said that the hospital and the doctor failed to properly and timeously diagnose their nine-year-old daughter with meningitis.
