The incident is said to be one of the worst cases of medical malpractice to become public at the hospital.

Kenyans online are demanding for the resignation of Kenyatta National Hospital CEO Lily Koros after it was reported that a brain surgery was conducted on the wrong patient.

The facility, through Ms Koros, apologized over the incident said to be one of the worst cases of medical malpractice to become public at the hospital.

She stated that there was a mix-up of patients leading to a brain surgery being performed on the wrong patient.

"The hospital deeply regrets this event and has done all it can to ensure the safety and well-being of the patient in question. We are happy to inform the public that the patient is in recovery and progressing well," Koros said.

Ms Koros further stated that the hospital has suspended the admission rights of a Neurosurgery Registrar and interdicted three other medical staff.

However, Kenyans felt shortchanged by the medical institution's gesture given that the facility has been tainted by a series of scandals for the past few months.

They called on Ms. Koros to resign immediately adding that she is not competent enough to run the country's largest referral hospital.

Here are some of their reactions:
