Fresh Details Emerge on Late Gospel Singer Betty’s Final Moments Amid Treatment Delay Claims

Fresh concerns have emerged surrounding the final moments of gospel singer Betty, whose sudden death has left Kenya’s gospel fraternity in shock. Reports indicate that Betty may not have received urgent medical care upon arrival at the hospital, allegedly because payment was required before admission.

According to multiple accounts from friends and associates, Betty arrived at the medical facility while in a critical condition and bleeding heavily. Witnesses allege that no first aid was administered immediately as staff demanded an initial payment before treatment could begin. It remains unclear whether preliminary care was offered before admission, but many close to the singer insist that valuable time was lost during the payment process.

Observers have criticized the manner in which the situation was handled, questioning why the team did not transfer her to another hospital when help appeared slow. “In emergencies, every minute counts,” one close family friend noted. “If one hospital delays, it’s important to seek help elsewhere instead of waiting for hours.”

By the time arrangements for payment and admission were finalized, it was reportedly too late. Betty’s condition worsened, and she succumbed before being stabilized. Medical professionals familiar with such cases have since stressed that emergency patients should receive immediate first aid regardless of payment status, as required under Kenya’s public health regulations.

The heartbreaking news has ignited widespread grief online, with fans and fellow musicians calling for transparency about what transpired. Many believe that if information had been shared earlier, fans could have quickly raised funds to assist with treatment. “If her team had informed us, we would have contributed within minutes,” one fan wrote on social media. “It’s painful knowing she could have been saved.”

As tributes continue to pour in, the late singer is being remembered as a passionate worshipper and devoted believer whose songs inspired thousands across Kenya and beyond. The incident has also renewed calls for hospitals to prioritize emergency care over payment, especially in life-threatening situations.

Betty’s family has requested privacy as preparations for her final rites continue, while the gospel fraternity plans a joint vigil in her honour. Sasa News will continue to follow developments and any official responses from the hospital or those who accompanied her in her final moments
