Source: Facebook The hospital, in a post shared on their Facebook page, noted that the man had stayed in the facility for some time with no family members visiting him or taking him home. How did Ezekiel end up in Embu Level 5 Hospital? Ezekiel, as the hospital identified him, was admitted after well-wishers took him to Embu Level 5 Hospital following a tragic road accident.
“We have a patient by the name of Ezekiel (not certain if this is his real name). He was a victim of a road accident and was brought in with no form of identification,” read part of the post. They further clarified that Ezekiel is not mentally stable, and the only thing he remembers is that he is from Machakos county. Embu Level 5 Hospital further revealed that the man is ready for discharge, as his hospital bill was waived following the directive of Embu County Governor Cecily Mbarire. As such, they urged his relatives to come forward and take him home. “We kindly appeal to the public: if anyone recognises him or has information about his family, please visit Embu Level 5 Hospital for confirmation and to facilitate his collection. Your support will help reunite him with his loved ones,” the post added. Netizens sympathise with Embu patient
Jose Jey: “So, this guy is still there. The way he helped me while I was admitted there, I will never forget. May he find his loved ones.” Kenstaff Wa Mugendi: “This man has been of help to the hospital. Jamal Runyenje Ogw, if he can get a job there, it would be great.” Persy Nyakabondo: “If he had an ID, people from his home area would have found him easily, as they would have searched for him through the local chiefs.” Fatuma Asuman: “Thank you and be blessed, Waziri, for this kindness and hard work, Governor Mbarire. Waziri Jamal, your leadership and parental love are on another level. Meanwhile, we will do a great job.” Joyce Mukundi: “May God help him locate his family.”
