Moi Allegedly Put on Life Support at Nairobi Hospital

Retired President Daniel Arap Moi is allegedly on life support at Nairobi Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Moi was reportedly put back on life support machines last week after his health condition deteriorated soon after they were put off, The Star reported on Sunday. He is now on a complete life support system, which is helping him breathe and clean up his kidneys.

Moi, 95, was readmitted to the medical facility on November 9th last year after he allegedly developed breathing complications, according to Daily Nation. He has been under the care of a team of doctors led by his personal physician Dr. David Silverstein.

Moi was taken to Nairobi Hospital at least three times in the last four months of 2019 and has been receiving special care at the facility's VIP wing, a homely setup.

During his initial admission to the hospital, Moi was treated for pleural effusion, a medical condition where excess fluids accumulate around the lung area, according to The Star.
