I saw it with my own eyes, an elderly woman, trembling bila nguvu, clutching her granddaughter’s hand. Aliambiwa cost ya treatment. She looked at her with quiet despair and whispered: “Wacha nikakufie kwa nyumba”.
I hope when anyone defends SHA or the Ministry for not equipping hospitals, they remember this: lives are being lost.
This isn’t a conversation of what SHA is or isn't. It is a choice between life and death forced by a broken system.
If systems and structures are valued more than the people they were built to serve, then the system itself has failed and must be scrapped.
We cannot let a system kill the very citizens it was meant to protect.
