Nairobi Women's Hospital dismiss claims it inflates medical costs to increase revenue
"On the spot: Nairobi Women's Hospital dismisses 'inflation cost' claims"
The Nairobi Women's Hospital has dismissed claims that they have been defrauding patients in their facilities. In an advert dated February 6, the hospital's board noted that they take the allegations seriously and are conducting an internal review."We have noted with concern reports appearing in media platforms. Although we don't believe this is the case and it is antithetical to our founding principles," the board of directors said.
By Wednesday, at least six insurance firms had announced they would no longer reimburse patients who seek services at the hospital, following allegations of malpractice. Jubilee, APA, GA, CIC, AAR and Old Mutual insurance wrote to their clients notifying them that they will no longer be accepting claims from clients seeking services at the hospital.
The Association of Kenya Insurers on Wednesday later announced all medical insurers will suspend Nairobi Women’s Hospital from their list of accredited service providers from February 5.
