    "content": "This Report aims to help prevent the recurrence of the systemic failures in that institution, as well as help the country’s largest referral institution redeems its very valuable image. This Report recommends considerable re-examination of the way KNH operates, improvement of the health services and, in particular, referral of patients from other hospitals around the country and the rest of the African Continent. It is important that we note that KNH is unique because of the number of years it has been there. It has served this nation and many other populations that are around the continent. It is important to understand that it is one of the best hospitals that support the training of health personnel and the future generations of our health services. It is important to note that medical mix-up is not unique to KNH. It occurs around the world on a daily basis. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), medical errors and other health care related adverse events occur in nearly 8 to 12 per cent of hospitalised patients in the European Union (EU) alone. For example, an estimation of 850,000 adverse events a year are recorded in the United Kingdom (UK) alone. This includes hospitals which acquire infections, commit surgical errors, among many others. These errors are recognised and clearly dealt with through due process. This is exactly what the Departmental Committee on Health and relevant health professionals and authorities are undertaking. Patients’ safety is a critical and practical issue that needs the support of all practitioners. It thus calls for stringent measures within the health institutions."
