To the outgoing interns as you pack your bags, remember the absolute terror you felt on day one of the internship. Be kind to the incoming cohort walking into Afya House on Monday. Leave them your survival guides, pass down the tips on which wards are the most grueling, and tell them which consultants actually care about teaching.
You came, you saw, and you kept the Kenyan public health sector alive on sheer vibes and dedication. Welcome to the other side. Wear your new title with pride you earned every single bit of it🥂.
The Polygamist is the first show I've watched where every plot twist made me respect the writers' commitment to wickedness.
Just when you think Jonasi has reached peak villainy, the show unlocks a bonus level.
At some point I stopped asking "why would he do that?"
The better question became:
"What hasn't this man done?" #ThePolygamist a standing ovation for the commitment to wickedness
Represented KMPDU at the Gender Equality and Leadership Workshop hosted by Public Services International @PSIglobalunion
The workshop focused on advancing women’s leadership within trade unions. We engaged in discussions on practical strategies to strengthen women’s leadership, participation and representation across union structures.
During the workshop, we identified several key action areas for our union:
•Development of a KMPDU Gender Policy.
•Establishment of a KMPDU Gender Desk.
•Inclusion of gender balance and affirmative action provisions in the ongoing KMPDU constitutional reforms.
•Incorporation of key provisions in the CBA : Occupational Safety and Health, anti-harassment measures and gender equality protections among others.
We look forward to advancing these initiatives and strengthening women’s power, influence and leadership within our union structures.

As a Senior Consultant, the reason I haven't raised my voice is simple:
When the interns are gone, I will gladly show up at 5AM, clerk 80 patients, draw the blood, and run the night calls myself.
I am superhuman. Obviously.
As a Senior Nursing Officer, the reason I am silent is obvious:
I have no problem running three wards alone, fixing lines, tracking vitals, delivering babies, doing the paperwork.
I don't need hands. I have dedication.
As a Policymaker, the reason I haven't spoken is elegant:
The interns are a budget problem I solved by terming the students.
My children are not doing internship in Uganda, after all.
As a Patient, the reason I haven't complained is clear:
Even if the doctor cutting me open has worked 36 hours without food, just cut me open and take the baby out.
Hunger sharpens the hands. Everyone knows this.
As a Citizen, the reason I am unbothered is rational:
None of my children is a medic.
I have my pastor.
The system runs on miracles. Always has.
This policy is brilliant.
Let's all stay quiet and watch the magic happen.
Kenyans are demonstrating in Nanyuki against The Ebola quarantine center others are demonstrating in the CBD and the president is comfortably celebrating Madaraka day without addressing these issues..Alafu mtu atasema tutam
Today is Madaraka day! The American Ebola facilities are being/have been set up despite a court order halting the process! We therefore have no reason to celebrate madaraka because NOT YET MADARAKA for sure!!
Response by KMPDC on the tragic and avoidable death of Brian Simiyu.
Madaktari tujikumbushe Hippocratic oath please. That MO is not mentally sound. Nobody in their right mind would do that. Ama he’s just a cold blooded criminal who deserves to go away for a very long time.
They even said Kenya is capable. A country that has pospartum women sharing beds, medicine worth billions expiring in a gov't warehouses is all of a sudden capable of handling Ebola protocols??? Tupunguze ulafi jameni! Do you even care about the citizens?
