Nairobi, KENYA: The Kenya Obstetrical and Gynecological Society (KOGS) has denied James Mugo Ndichu alias Mugo Wa Wairimu as being an obstetrician or gynecologist.
According to KOGS Secretary General Dr. Benjamin Odongo, Mugo is not and has never been an Obstetrician/Gynaecologist, and his practice bears the hallmarks of social injustice, lack of ethics and defilement of human rights.
“I have no doubt in my mind that patients and women have died in this country as a result of the interventions of such quacks who not only openly practice in rural areas, but in urban centres as well,” said Odongo.
He further added that Mugo’s actions were a direct assault to the professional integrity of obstetricians and gynecologists earning an honest living, and also went against the Kenyan Constitution that articulates that every individual should access universally the highest attainable standard of care including emergency treatment.
They said there is need for him to face the full wrath of the law and severe recourse meted by the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentist Board (KMPDB).
