He was told that the daughter has been sick for a long time but could not get treatment due to lack of money.

Keeping his promise, Mosiria visited the hospital to monitor his progress and make sure he gets the right treatment.
“I was doing an operation in Kawangware when I met a little girl who was very sick. Her parents had no money and no health insurance. They take her outside every day to get some sun, then they bring her back inside.
I took Mbagathi to see a doctor because they had been directed there due to the new regulations of the Community Health Authority (SHA),” he added.
A senior environmental official urged Kenyans to sign up for health insurance, saying the move could help prevent such incidents.
He also followed up with doctors to make sure the girl was helped and admitted for treatment.
