• Everlyn Kamanthe visited Makueni County Referral Hospital on October 27, 2021 for a tooth extraction.
• The botched procedure led to a severe infection, causing her lower jaw to swell, and nearly cost her life, eventually requiring removal of the infected lower jaw.
• She was asked to pay Ksh. 20,000 for further treatment and was later referred to a hospital in Nairobi for specialized care.
• Dr. Saul Nyambane, a dental surgeon at Makueni County Referral Hospital, stated the patient disappeared after the initial treatment and was later diagnosed with a bone tumor, encouraging her to return for further evaluation.
