The Ministry of Health is investigating the death of Nairobi-based Instagram celebrity, Lucy Wambui, at a city clinic after plastic surgery.
Social media influencer Wambui underwent a cosmetic surgery at Omnicare Medical clinic, also known as Body by Design, and was discharged on October 18.
She felt unwell while at home and returned to the facility but was referred to a top city hospital where she underwent another surgery.
She died four days later in the ICU. Wambui was the wife of prominent Nairobi businessman Francis Ng’ang’a, CEO of Valley Road Motors and Village Market Auto Bazaar. She had two children.
The Ministry of Health said it received the report of Wambui’ death with “deep concern”, confirming the death followed complications from a surgical procedure.
The nature of the surgery was not disclosed. Public Health PS Mary Muthoni said the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) has begun a probe into the death.
KMPDC has temporarily closed the plastic surgery and body-sculpting clinic. “A team has been dispatched to the facility to conduct a fact-finding mission aimed at assessing whether the necessary professional standards were met in Lucy’s care,” she said in a statement.
