The video captured an agitated woman censuring hospital staff, hurling insults and tossing hospital files from the nurse's desk.

At one point, she even attempted to confront the nurse, throwing jabs and issuing threats at her.

The woman is later captured on camera threatening to call someone prominent in the government over the matter.

“Harakisha ukuje hapa saa hii (Hurry up and come here right now)," she was heard saying on the phone.

Reports suggest that the two individuals had brought a patient to the facility and demanded immediate attention, ahead of other patients waiting for treatment.
