Georgina Njenga is out of rehab. The content creator left Chiromo Hospital Group in Nairobi on Monday, November 9. Her treatment had originally been planned to last 90 days. Pulse Live Kenya reported that she left early after making significant progress.
Comedian and activist Eric Omondi announced her discharge. According to Pulse Live Kenya, he said medical professionals had assessed her condition. They cleared her to leave once she completed the recommended treatment. Ghafla Kenya reported that doctors declared her ready to go home to her family.
In a video shared by Omondi, Georgina thanked Kenyans for standing by her and her family. "I never thought that Kenyans would show me the love that they've shown me," she said, Ghafla Kenya reported. She said her immediate priority is reuniting with her daughter as she continues her recovery at home.
Her health crisis became public in September. A video of her in visible distress outside a supermarket, reportedly filmed at around 4am, spread online. She then posted a series of worrying messages on her Instagram Stories. Many Kenyans called for her to get professional help.
Omondi stepped in after her family raised concerns. Ghafla Kenya reported that he worked with her mother, Alice Waruiru, to find her. He then arranged her voluntary admission on October 2 under his Sisi Kwa Sisi initiative. According to the same outlet, leaders at the facility, including Dr. Hongo and Prof. Frank Njenga, waived her treatment costs.
Her stay was not easy. About two weeks in, she reportedly described the experience as difficult, citing isolation and pressure from people outside the facility. Ghafla Kenya reported that she spoke of facing "spiritual battles" at that stage.
Footage allegedly recorded inside the rehab centre without permission also leaked online. Several public figures criticised the leak. Radio presenter Oga Obinna condemned the bloggers who shared it, saying Georgina deserved privacy and compassion, Pulse Live Kenya reported.
