Media personality Natalie Githinji has been admitted to hospital while receiving treatment after experiencing an endometriosis flare.
Her friend Laura Mbatha shared the update on Natalie’s behalf and asked people to keep her in their prayers. Laura said she would continue sharing updates about Natalie’s condition on Monday, August 3, 2026.
Laura explained that Natalie was currently admitted and receiving treatment after the flare. She shared the message as Natalie’s friend and asked people to remember her during the difficult period. Laura also said she would keep people updated as Natalie continued with her treatment.
“Hi guys, posting on behalf of Natalie. Today is one of those days we ask you to keep her in your prayers. She’s having an endometriosis flare and is currently admitted, receiving treatment,” Laura Mbatha said.
Natalie’s call for endometriosis treatment
The hospital admission comes days after Natalie appealed for comprehensive endometriosis treatment to be covered by the Social Health Authority (SHA). She appealed to President William Ruto, saying the cost of care remains too high for many women living with the condition. Natalie said patients face costs related to consultations, surgery, medication and ongoing treatment.
“My name is Natalie Githinji, and I have battled endometriosis for 17 years now,” Natalie Githinji said on Friday, July 24, 2026.
Natalie explained that endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside the uterus. She said the condition can grow in any part of the body and has no cure. Natalie also listed several effects linked to the condition, including painful monthly periods, heavy bleeding, fatigue, nausea, lower back pain and chronic pelvic pain.
Natalie said women living with the condition may also face mental trauma after spending years dealing with its effects. She called for early diagnosis and treatment to help women get care sooner.
“It is my wish that women get early diagnosis and treatment rather than spend years suffering from mental trauma before even getting to treat the actual disease,” Natalie Githinji said.
Laura later assured people that she would continue sharing information about Natalie as she receives treatment. She said she would keep people posted on her progress. The update comes as Natalie continues to seek attention for the cost and treatment of endometriosis.
