Kenyan businessman, Francis Ng'ang'a has narrated how his wife, Lucy Wambui, died after undergoing cosmetic surgery at a clinic in Nairobi.
Lucy developed complications
from the surgery. She was then admitted
to a city hospital, where she was rushed for treatment and d!ed four days
later.
Postmortem report showed that
Wambui developed chest pains and difficulty breathing on the second day after
the abdominal fat liposuction procedure.
Speaking to Citizen TV from his
home, the heartbroken widow said his wife was left with perforated intestines
after the cosmetic surgery at the Body by Design clinic.
Ng'ang'a blamed the clinic for
his wife's death, narrating how she was sent home and the establishment closed
immediately.
"I asked them why my wife
was excreting and smelling and they told me it was part of the healing process.
When they noticed she was critically ill, they told her to go home, and they
closed the clinic," said Ng'ang'a.
Ng'ang'a narrated how efforts
to treat his wife at the clinic were futile as it had been closed and had no
access.
"10 minutes after she
arrived home, she got very ill, and when we returned her to the clinic, we
found it had been closed, and we only found the security guards," he
added.
He narrated how the following
morning, on October 26, had a conversation with his wife, little did he know it
was going to be their last communication.
"She called me and told me
she was feeling very bad. She told me that if she dies, I should take care of
her children just like we would take care of them when it was just the two of
us," he recalled.
Meanwhile, the government
announced that it had shut down the facility pending investigations into her
death.
In a statement on Saturday,
November 2, MoH said that the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council
had conducted a comprehensive investigation into its practices and standards.
