A family from Mbuvori Location in Manyatta Constituency, Embu, is appealing for financial support from well-wishers to enable their mother get discharged from hospital after undergoing successful cancer treatment.
Cecily Njoka, 65, who was diagnosed with esophageal cancer two years ago underwent a successful surgery in July this year at Kenyatta University Teaching and Referral Hospital and was discharged on Sunday, August 10.
However, her family has been unable to clear the balance of Sh314, 000 left from her total treatment cost of Sh764, 000 after NHIF paid Sh450, 000 leading to her detainment. The family is now worried that the burden of hospital bill accumulating at the rate of Sh4, 000 daily may become too much for them to handle as she continues being detained in hospital.
Her husband, Jeremiah Njeru, 72, said her cancer journey had left them impoverished as they sought treatment in various private and public hospitals since she started ailing in 2022. “We have sold literally everything that we could put our hands on to meet her medical expenses and now we are appealing to well-wishers to come to our rescue,” said the father of nine.
Her son, John Nyaga said they would be very glad to see her come back home and lead a normal life after undergoing a successful surgery and being declared cancer free. “We are glad arrears notwithstanding that we are going for our mother from hospital alive and whole and not a dead body,” Nyaga said.
