Families petition Nakuru govt over unpaid hospital bills

Relatives of patients detained at Naivasha Level IV Hospital over unpaid medical bills have petitioned the Nakuru County Government to waive the debts and secure their release. Many families with kin at the hospital admitted they had not registered with the Social Health Authority (SHA) due to economic hardships, leaving them unable to settle growing hospital bills ranging from KSh 9,000 to more than KSh 200,000.
