Nairobi health boss defends Mama Lucy hospital over baby's death

The death of a three-month-old baby at Mama Lucy Hospital was due to lack of an ambulance. Health Executive Bernard Muia yesterday said the facility has only one working ambulance as the other three are broken down. Mr Muia said Dominic Juma did not die as a result of negligence as had been claimed, adding that there was no ambulance available to ferry him to Kenyatta National Hospital. He said the baby was referred to Mama Lucy on Tuesday from a private clinic in Komarock.
