The DNA test results have conclusively resolved the case where a couple accused Kiambu Level 5 Hospital of a newborn swap, confirming that the baby girl is, in fact, theirs.
George Mwaura and his wife, Esther, expressed deep relief and joy yesterday after receiving the results, which officially recognized them as the child’s biological parents. Following a week fraught with stress and doubt, the couple departed the hospital happy and complete with their new daughter. The tests, performed at the Government Chemist, offered unquestionable proof of their parentage.
The parents arrived at the medical facility yesterday to obtain the documentation from the hospital administration. Speaking afterward, Esther voiced her gratitude that the entire confusion was finally put to rest thanks to the positive DNA match. Mwaura shared his sense of relief, noting that with their doubts cleared, they could now dedicate themselves to raising their child with total peace of mind.
Dr. Peninah Mwikali, the Medical Superintendent at Kiambu Level 5 Hospital, confirmed that the DNA testing was conducted because the parents had questioned the baby’s identity. She clarified that the hospital initiated an investigation after the couple expressed concerns about the baby’s sex, which arose from inaccurate information the mother had initially conveyed to the husband immediately after delivery.
Dr. Mwikali concluded by confirming that the matter is now formally closed following the receipt of the definitive DNA results. She additionally assured the public that both mother and baby are doing well, underscoring the hospital’s continued commitment to providing the highest standards of patient care.
