Hospitals of death
The government has owned up to the poor state of its health facilities and a rescue team that will focus on reforms has been formed. State run health facilities face acute shortages of qualified staff and facilities and as Martina Akinyi reports, the task ahead for the team is herculean.

@ayoma825 That …
@ayoma825 That would be a tough choice though. Seeking treatment outside your home country is not only due to poor facilities but other factors as well come in. Most pple even in developed nations seek treatment abroad due to costs and medical errors. E.g most Americans would rather go to India for kidney transplant at a cost of $ 15,000- 30,000 rather than do it in the US at a cost of over $150,000. Medical Tourism.
when a minister …
when a minister falls sick, he is airlifted to london or germany. just like they educate their children abroad. they have no policies or any new ideas on either public healthcare or education
Kenyans public …
Kenyans public hospitals will be well equipped and serviced when all the MPS are and the 1% rich, are denied visas to get their treatment abroad, and are instead, forced to get their treatment where the rest of wanainchi get treatment, in public hospitals and clinics. MPS earn millions, while kenyans who vote for them cannot even afford good medical care. They can’t afford to sue doctors for malpractice either. They’re screwed big time. Vote these losers out of office!
Problem bwana prof …
Problem bwana prof is that there is too much politicking till ministers forget they have other vital duties for the nation . Thats why ministries should not be headed by politicians.
@wawaithira What is …
@wawaithira What is wrong with admitting the truth? What we should question Nyongo is what he is doing about the situation he has admitted to but not chastise him for telling us that he acknowledges the deplorable conditions. Plus, nurses who work today must have been trained more than three years ago before Nyongo was minister. It takes some time to diagnose a problem then work on a solution… be gracious… or tell us what you would have done given the opportunity.
It’s sad that poor …
It’s sad that poor patients are dying like dogs. when kibaki, kalonzos, Railas, etc enjoys a cup of tea on the hill.
How can you turn …
How can you turn out to be this,the respectable quiet nyongo in taifa library turned domo kaya:What happened to my lecturers whom i dored and looked up to. The likes of you have gone down the kenyan political drain, starting with prof Mbithi,Wanjala,Karega mutahi,gichaga, Saitoti, ……what a waste
@siasabora I used …
@siasabora I used to have so much respect for Anyang’ Nyong’o, especially during the struggle days but he has turned out to be useless really (except when there are positions to be fought over). Maybe these people should just stay in opposition forever, that’s where their talents lie.
just because …
just because Britain colonised Kenya doesn’t not mean you have to literally copy what Britain does….for goodness sake does our so-called MPs know the meaning of independence. ATI state owned hospital in poor condition reminds me of the NHS here in Britain.
3 years and Anyang …
3 years and Anyang is still whining not solving health issues!
Prof. Nyongo shame …
Prof. Nyongo shame on you, if you as a minister can admit that Kenyan hospitals are having nurses who are killing people it is a big and unfortunate remark borne out of your thoughtlessness. That was the last thing you would have admitted if it was happening, deal with it internally and be very decisive.
