    "content": "To this end, we as a Committee, held several meetings with the Members of the family of the deceased, officials from the Ministry of Health, Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) officials and National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). Basically, we wanted to clarify the circumstances that led to the death of the patient as well as understand the broader legal policy and regulatory ethical factors that may have contributed to the unfortunate and untimely death. Madam Deputy Speaker, in quick summary, the Committee found that M.P Shah Hospital failed to provide definitive emergency treatment to the late Mrs. Virginia Asaph and failed to provide it in adequate and timely manner that is Percutaneous Coronary and Coronary Angiogram Intervention. We recommended that M.P Shah Hospital be investigated by KMPDC on this issue of failing to give the emergency treatment to this patient. Madam Deputy Speaker, on the issue of penalty, the Committee recommended that M.P. Shah Hospital having failed to give emergency treatment and ultimately causing the death of the patient, it should be surcharged Kshs3 million in accordance to Section 7 (3) of the Health Act, 2017 and Section 26 (e) of the Medical Practitioner and Dentists Act for negligently failing to conduct a life-saving Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, CPI Angiogram in a timely manner as per the recommended clinical practice and guideline. This matter was tabled before this House and it was debated extensively. I am kindly asking the House to adopt this Motion. I will ask Sen. Shiyonga to second. I thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker."
