A patient has no obligation to pay a hospital for the period he or she is detained for failing to foot a medical bill.
The declaration was made by High Court judge Weldon Korir in a case filed by Emma Muthoni against Nairobi Women’s Hospital for detaining her over Sh1.7 million bill.
Ms Muthoni spent two months at the city hospital and her bill was Sh3 million. At the time she was discharged on May 14, 2018, the bill had shot to Sh4 million.
