A woman who sued Mater Hospital for negligence after suffering uterus perforation has been awarded Sh2.4 million as compensation. In her ruling, senior resident magistrate P Muholi said the injuries suffered by Betty Wakio were not beyond control of Mater Hospital. The magistrate said prior to the hospital visit, the woman did not have a perforated uterus and ileum. According to court papers Wakio on September 13, 2013, visited KNH to see a gynaecologist but was referred to Mater Hospital. But Mater Hospital said the woman had lost many pregnancies and had to undergo evacuation at different hospitals at least twice.
