What Happened and Why It Matters If a hospital mismanaged funds and mistreated your relative, you're likely feeling frustrated and unsure of what to do.

The usual advice to get a lawyer and go to court might not be feasible or practical for many Kenyans. For many everyday disputes, there's a faster option.

Understanding Your Rights with Immani Legal AI Under Kenyan law, hospitals have a duty of care towards their patients.

If a hospital mismanaged funds and mistreated your relative, you may have a valid claim. Immani Legal AI lets you check if the hospital's actions were lawful, free, on your phone, in English or Kiswahili. You can ask questions, upload documents, draft a letter, or search for relevant Kenyan precedents.

Taking Action with Immani When a hospital mismanages funds and mistreats a patient, you can file a dispute against the hospital using Immani.

Here's how:

  1. Open a dispute using the hospital's phone number and describe what happened.
  2. Both you and the hospital will be notified immediately.
  3. There is a short private window to respond and engage directly.
  4. If there is no response, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up the hospital's phone number on Immani.
  5. The dispute only closes when both sides confirm they have engaged and reached an understanding.

What Happens Next After filing a dispute, you'll receive updates on the progress.

If the hospital responds, you can engage directly and try to reach a resolution. If the hospital doesn't respond, the dispute will become public, which may prompt them to respond. Immani facilitates contact and documentation, but it's up to both parties to reach an agreement. Immani and Immani Legal AI are not law firms and do not provide legal advice.
