“He was immediately conveyed to a private medical facility in the Federal Capital Territory, where he is currently receiving close medical care and remains under observation.”
The statement further revealed that a preliminary medical assessment conducted by the attending doctors indicated that arrangements for an air ambulance medical evacuation may be considered should his condition fail to stabilise within a short period.
“Dr. Maina is currently receiving close medical care and remains under observation, while his family and medical team are closely monitoring his progress,” the statement said.
