Joyce Laboso Death Cause: The lat Dr. Joyce Laboso had made peace with the possibility that she was about to meet her death. Reports suggest that she had in fact requested to be allowed to go home and rest. Eight days to her death, Ms. Laboso had told her doctor she wanted to be discharged. “I want to go rest at home,” she had told one of her doctors on July 21 from her hospital bed in the high dependency unit (HDU).
In the past two months, Dr Laboso had been in hospitals in London, India and finally at the Nairobi Hospital, where she died yesterday. The Standard reports that on July 19, Laboso had been moved from the intensive care unit to the HDU where she requested to be allowed to go ‘rest at home’. But some family members are said to have resisted the suggestion, arguing that she needed to be in hospital. That is why on Monday, July 22, she was moved to the general VIP ward in the North Wing where she remained until her death.
