Do you remember the story of Stephen Otieno Oloo whose spinal code was broke into 2 by thieves at Muthaiga, later dumped at KNH after the family couldn't afford the bill at WSH, at KNH, nurses were on strike. He stayed at the waiting areas for 2 days, he spinal code was actually begining to rot... We worked day and night and found Jumuia Hospital Huruma... They took him in, accepted SHA, and performed a surgery on him 2 days ago. He stayed in a coma for over 40 hours... When he regained his consciousness, the hospital said SHA is now depleted and the guy, who just came out of coma, should leave the hospital. We have pleaded with them but they have discharged and wheeled him out of the ward. The guy is still unconscious and needs that medical care... Is it wrong to be poor in this surely? 😫. I am just tired. This is sad.
40+ days of non functional public hospitals. This is a travesty against the public that shouldn't be tolerated any longer. Quality health care is a human right as enshrined in the constitution. Pay the nurses @KenyaGovernors
People who don't arrange the washing line accordingly what's your problem seriously. What do you mean a skirt is followed by a pillowcase, try then a gown, then a bra. There has to be an order!🤣
By next year we will have enemies we never knew we had . Sabaot land defense and mùngìkì might even make a comeback , anything to forget the true source of our misfortune. Who knew coffee and coffee hawkers were the ones standing between Kenya and prosperity.
If you’re easily incited to hate on fellow Africans, you also can be easily turned against your own neighbors, communities and tribes.
Politics of division doesn’t start and end with tribalism.
For four and a half centuries the world has been getting its geography from a Flemish mapmaker named Gerardus Mercator, who in 1569 produced a chart that was splendid for sailing ships and terrible for almost everything else. It made Greenland look roughly the size of Africa, which is a bit like drawing a house cat and a rhinoceros at the same scale, and it flattered any country that had the good fortune to sit far from the equator.
On Friday the UN General Assembly voted, 164 to one, to retire Mercator in favour of the Eckert IV projection, which shows continents at something close to their true size. Togo led the charge on behalf of the African Union, and France signed up before the ink was dry.
The lone dissenter was the United States, which also shrinks, and evidently minded.
Do you have a business that is doing very well , has your business been avaraging profits above 20 million monthly? Worry not the yamune cartel is here to save you from the terrible burdens of a successful business.
Something very skewed is happening at the Kenyatta National Hospital Renal Unit, and almost nobody is talking about it. 🧵
1/ SHA covers two dialysis sessions per week at KSh10,650 per session. But at KNH, once a patient is admitted as an inpatient, they reportedly get only one covered session, while the second and third sessions must be paid for in cash.
2/ The strange part is that the same patient, at the same hospital, can receive the two covered dialysis sessions when treated as an outpatient.
3/ This means some of the sickest patients, the very people who need dialysis most urgently, are the ones whose families are being asked to raise cash for additional sessions.
4/ Families are therefore being pushed into a brutal position where delays can mean worsening fluid overload and other serious complications simply because they cannot immediately raise another KSh10,000 or more.
5/ @MOH_Kenya@SHA_Kenya, this is not what Universal Health Coverage was supposed to look like. Dialysis is not an elective procedure that patients can casually postpone.
Separate dialysis from the inpatient per diem arrangement and allow admitted renal patients to access their full SHA dialysis entitlement, including the eight sessions available each month.
Women, the reason you can have a credit card in your own name and don’t need a man’s signature to open a bank account is because of Gloria Steinem. RIP to this queen.
