“MY HUSBAND DIED WHILE SEATED IN THE VEHICLE AT KAREN HOSPITAL. HE DID EVERYTHING FOR ME. HE IS A MAN WHO SUPPORTED ME AND IF I WANTED TO DO A PROJECT I COULD TALK TO HIM. HE SUPPORTED ME. " SHE NARRATED
She then gave details of his last day saying,
HE CAME ON SUNDAY AND TOLD ME HE WAS FEELING COLD THEN ON MONDAY I TOLD HIM TO GO AND DO PNEUMONIA, MALARIA AND COVID-19 TESTS. I TOLD HIM TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE THREE TESTS. ON WEDNESDAY HE SAID HE HAD ONLY RECEIVED COVID-19 RESULTS. ON FRIDAY, I SAW HE WAS NOT DOING WELL SO I TOOK HIM TO THE HOSPITAL ON SATURDAY.

Beatrice added that the admission process took so long that she feels he passed on out of negligence.
"HE PASSED ON WHEN I WAS WITH HIM. HE WAS SEATED IN THE CAR WAITING FOR ADMISSION. THE DOCTOR THEN TOLD ME THAT THEY ONLY DID ONE TEST ON HIM. I FELT IT WAS NEGLIGENCE… I WISH THEY DID EVERYTHING TO SAVE HIM… I SURRENDER ALL.” SHE CONCLUDED
