AAR Hospital refutes claims Betty Bayo was denied treatment over unpaid bill

AAR Hospital has dismissed circulating social media reports suggesting that gospel singer Betty Bayo was denied medical care due to an inability to pay, calling the claims inaccurate and misleading.In a statement, the hospital said Bayo was admitted for two days, during which she received emergency and critical care, and her diagnosis was confirmed, before being transferred to Kenyatta National Hospital for specialised treatment.“After her initial stabilisation and medical assessment, the patient and her family later opted to transfer her to another medical facility for further specialised treatment,” the hospital said, adding that further details are withheld out of respect for patient confidentiality and medical ethics.AAR Hospital Condolences and Clarification Statementpic.twitter.com/8MWO3Vj74PFollow The Standard
