Bodies of conjoined twins who were born at Lenmek Hospital in Kisii County a year ago are detained at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) over Sh3.1 million bill.
Baby Milpha Kemwama Magati and Nipha Nyang'ate Magati died at the Nairobi-based hospital on December 23, 2022, after staying at the facility for more than a year.
They had been admitted at KNH for close monitoring.
The twin girls were born on November 30, 2021, to 23-year-old Lilian Moraa and her husband Vincent Haron Magati, 27. Also read: Conjoined twins: Parents say no warning despite regular clinic visits
"We are not able to take the bodies of our beloved children for burial because we haven't cleared the huge hospital bill," said Mr Magati.
She was transferred to Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital for specialised treatment but was later moved to KNH together with her babies for further observation.
The couple at the time said they were in shock since they were not informed of any abnormalities despite regular pre-natal clinic visits. [email protected]
