Woman demands Sh1.1m from Mediheal for breach of egg-harvesting contract
Mediheal Diagnostic and Fertility Centre Limited and Dr Shaunak Khandwala were ordered by Milimani magistrate Lucy Njora to pay the woman, identified as AC, Sh1,139,665.06 for breach of contract.
On December 15, 2022, when the plaintiff was due to harvest the follicles, the defendants terminated the said agreement and chased AC away "without proper communication or counselling".
The court heard that as a result, the process was unilaterally stopped by the defendants and she was later given medication which led to "painful follicles, causing her to go through a long period of pain and suffering".
Langat told the court that the failure to complete the process as agreed resulted in psychological torture for the complainant.
A woman who was awarded over Sh1.1 million for breach of an egg-harvesting contract is demanding payment by a Nairobi-based hospital and the doctor who handled the matter.
In the violated contract, Mediheal Diagnostic and Fertility Centre Limited and Dr Shaunak Khandwala planned to harvest ovum from the woman, identified as AC, and pay her Sh950,000.
