Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was admitted to Karen Hospital following concerns over his health during the Senate's proceedings on his impeachment case. His unexpected hospitalization raised concerns across the country, leading Karen Hospital to issue a formal statement on his status.
Gachagua was taken to Karen Hospital after experiencing chest pains during his appearance at the Senate. His health situation caused alarm, as the Deputy President had been under considerable pressure defending himself against impeachment charges. The sudden onset of his symptoms disrupted the proceedings, prompting an immediate response from medical professionals and raising questions about his wellbeing.
In an official statement, Dr. Dan Gikonyo, a senior cardiologist at Karen Hospital, assured the public that Gachagua was in a stable condition but required further observation. The hospital emphasized that the Deputy President had undergone necessary tests and that his situation was not critical. According to Dr. Gikonyo, Gachagua was expected to remain under close supervision for a period of 48 to 72 hours to ensure his full recovery. This precaution was deemed necessary given the demands of his public role and recent stressors.
Dr. Gikonyo explained that this period of monitoring was crucial due to the Deputy President’s high-profile role, which comes with immense physical and mental pressures. Gachagua had undergone a series of tests, and while there were no alarming results, the medical team decided to err on the side of caution given the strenuous nature of his duties, including the stress from the ongoing impeachment trial.
Hospital staff further emphasized that Gachagua’s admission was purely a precautionary measure and not an emergency situation. His symptoms, primarily chest pains, had warranted immediate medical attention, but the tests revealed no major concerns. Dr. Gikonyo highlighted the importance of ensuring Gachagua rested adequately during this time, as returning to his public duties too soon could potentially aggravate his condition.
Karen Hospital assured the public that Gachagua was receiving the best care possible and that updates on his health would be provided regularly. The hospital’s transparent communication was aimed at calming the public while prioritizing the Deputy President’s long-term well-being.
Throughout the observation period, the hospital would assess his progress and offer updates if any significant developments occurred. Karen Hospital reassured the public that all necessary resources and medical expertise were being utilized to facilitate Gachagua's swift recovery.
