Religious cult under fire for denying children health care | Hivisasa.com

Religious child maltreatment due to lack of medical care based on religious belief is not just an issue here in the states.  It seems stupidity has no boundaries.

A sect in Nakuru County has come under fire from members of the public for allegedly denying children access to health care due to their faith.

'Kanisa La Mungu' which has several branches in Nakuru Town Estates has been accused of causing the death of a teenager.

David Mugo, 19, died six days after falling sick but his parents failed to take him to hospital claiming that their 'church' is opposed to medical treatment.

Ann Wasike, a clinic officer at the Nakuru Provincial General Hospital said that the deceased was admitted at the hospital following intervention of neighbours and some relatives but he died two days due to weak immunity.
“The youth has never gone to hospital. He had never been immunised due to religious beliefs by his parents,” said Wasike.
