Ms Katanga identified the deceased as Bertha Mboneka, who was admitted to the hospital for treatment of cervical cancer.
“The deceased was a cancer patient and she was admitted to NCH, where she was being treated before she jumped to her death. She was found on the ground around 05:00 hours by hospital staff,” Ms Katanga said.
