Many patients have died due to doctors' negligence, with the affected hospitals slapped with awards running into millions of shillings. Investigations by The Standard indicate more than 10 hospitals have since 2012 been ordered to pay Sh38 million for their doctors' blunders and negligence. The court was told that a second opinion from a private hospital, Avenue Hospital, confirmed the blunders done in her previous operation. Another patient, Hellen Kiramana, was awarded Sh4 million after a wrong hip implant placed by PCEA Kikuyu Hospital doctors.
