Esther Passaris, the Nairobi County Representative, has spoken out about her recent surgery at Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi, saying it was a success.
Passaris had been experiencing chronic pain and had traveled to India for medical attention in March. She had been using medication to manage her symptoms, but the pain had been impacting her ability to work and exercise.
According to Passaris, the pain had been recurring since she gave birth to her first child 20 years ago.
Passaris had been open about her struggles with chronic pain on social media, and her fans had been sending her messages of support.
On September 16, Passaris was hospitalized at Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi, where she underwent surgery. She has since confirmed that the surgery was successful.
Passaris had been criticized for choosing to have private surgery instead of going to a public hospital. However, she has maintained that she made the decision based on her own needs and circumstances.
Passaris' surgery is a relief to her fans, who had been worried about her health.
