Health Authority Closes Scion Hospital Maternity Wing Amid Negligence Investigation
The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) has ordered the immediate closure of Scion Hospital’s maternity ward following allegations of negligence in its maternity services.
In an official statement released Saturday, the regulatory body announced it has “initiated a formal inquiry in line with its regulatory mandate” after being alerted to an incident involving the hospital’s maternity services.
The investigation follows a complaint of medical negligence that reportedly resulted in a stillbirth.
A woman has claimed her daughter died at birth due to staff negligence at the facility.
“As investigations are underway, the maternity ward at Scion Hospital has been ordered closed with immediate effect to ensure patient safety and preserve the integrity of the ongoing review,” the Council stated.
The regulatory body emphasized its commitment to maintaining high standards of healthcare, stating it “remains committed to upholding the highest standards of medical care and will take all necessary actions based on the outcomes of the investigation.”
KPMDC have not provided a timeline for the completion of the investigation or potential reopening of the maternity services.
