Senators are contemplating changing the law to introduce punitive penalties for medical negligence as they investigate the "resurrection" of a patient at a mortuary in Kericho and his death days later. The Senate Health committee has been calling for the enactment of laws to guide the provision of emergency health services and tame rogue and money-first medics and facilities. Iman cited the incident as pure medical negligence and sought to know if action had been taken against the medical staff who erroneously declared him dead. Iman told the Star she wants the committee, to which the statement was committed, to revisit all reported cases of medical negligence and make appropriate recommendations. Action must be taken against whoever declared that patient dead when he was still alive,” she said.
