Lang'ata Hospital Laboratory has been closed indefinitely for carrying out fake Covid-19 tests and its bosses were yesterday arrested. The hospital charged people Sh 5,500 for tests but secretly sneaked the people in ambulances to KEMRI for testing.
KEMRI, after the early morning police raid, decided to announce, in the afternoon, that it will no-longer carry out Covid- 19 tests in its Hq and its other centers. (A move that didn't make any sense at all, but in light of the Lang'at Hospital story, that move makes perfect sense.) KEMRI shouldn't charge for Covid-19 testing. So either KEMRI was in on it or Lang'ata Hospital Labs played KEMRI.
Lang'ta Hospital was also found to be using expired reagents in other tests, especially HIV and Syphilis related tests. And most of its drugs and testing reagents were found labeled GoK (meaning they were originally sent to a public hospital). Lang'ta hospital is a private hospital and those drugs and other GoK medical supplies shouldn't be in that facility.
This country! Wah, hatuwezi smama ipelekwe kwa fundi?
