Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions. Like few other leaders anywhere, he was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values. Through his life, Raila Odinga set an example not just for Kenyans, but across Africa and around the world. I know he will be missed. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya.
Today, I joined my friend & client Dr. Ahmed Kalebi in launching of his Dr. Kalebi Labs (DKL), the latest & most advanced medical laboratory in Kenya. Like all pioneers who changed trajectory of History, Dr. Kalebi is one. Humbled to know him. May Allah grant him abundant blessings. Present were my friends Dr. Maxwell Okoth, a leading hospitals owner, Dr. Allan Pamba, Executive VP (Africa), Roche Diagnostics & Kathryne Maundu, NCBA CS.
The right diagnosis, at the right time, is the basis of safe and effective health care. By contrast, diagnostic errors can lead to serious harm, and even death.
This #WorldPatientSafetyDay, we call for a great collaboration between health workers and managers, policymakers and regulators, civil society and the private sector, patients and their families to reduce harmful errors.
Together, let’s get it right, and make it safe
