Today we audited a maternal death in our facility. It is quite heartbreaking that women have to die while seeking abortion services.If the @MOH_Kenya is serious about reducing maternal deaths,then they must be ready to have this uncomfortable discussion on safe abortions.The more we bury our heads in the sand,the more we shall continue to bury young women whose only sin is chosing their dreams over motherhood.The church will wail,but that will not stop these young girls from seeking those services from backstreets and dying in the process. #Letthewomendecide #herbodyherchoice
The 5 months Kiambu Doctors' strike is off.
As with many such, we only get to collect phyrric victories - the losses along the way remain too great to even consider anything a victory.
May the day break.
The Kiambu Healthcare workers’ strike highlights the urgent need for a Health Service Commission (HSC).
Just like security and education, health is an essential service that should not have been fully devolved. County-level management has often led to salary delays, poor planning, and repeated industrial unrest disrupting critical services for patients who rely on public hospitals.
A Health Service Commission would help ensure:
•Fair and timely remuneration of health workers
•Standardized policies and staffing across the country
•Better resource allocation and workforce planning
•Continuity of critical healthcare services without frequent strikes
Kenya cannot afford to gamble with healthcare. It’s time to establish a framework that safeguards both health workers and the public they serve.

How do I convince my children that education is the key to a comfortable and fulfilling life when the lecturers under @UASUKenya are demonstrating to get their dues, Clinical Officers in Marsabit and Siaya are on strike because the counties did not submit their third party deductions to respective institutions among other issues, Nurses under @KNUNOFFICIAL in Siaya were brutalized as they demonstrated and Doctors in Kiambu @kmpdu have been locked out by the administration to arm twist them to give up their right to Join and participate in the activities of a Trade Union.
When @UHCmedicsKe
have to demonstrate almost for 12 months to be paid and absorbed in line with prevailing laws, Global Fund staff also having worked for 14 months without pay and @MOH_Kenya
and @KenyaGovernors keep tossing them around instead of absorbing them.
It isn't business as usual when the people who are expected to be role models are frustrated into unending strikes and demonstrations.
A society that demeans the highly educated is only but jeopardizing its future coz many young people do not see the value of education.
@WilliamsRuto@HonWetangula@HonAmasonKingi should intervene.
Kiambu County Doctors strike Flashpoints:
1. Kiambu has failed to implement SRC salary guidelines
2. Delayed salaries and promotions stalled
3. inadequate medical cover
4. union deductions have been stopped unilaterally
5. workers victimisation through arbitrary transfers.
136 newborns have currently died because of the doctors strike in Kiambu. The governor has let this go on for 4 months refusing to pay the medical doctor’see salaries, absorb UHC staff or give healthcare workers medical insurance. The worst is yet to come.
The easiest way to kill this is to take their numbers. Some illuson dies when the responsibility of it becomes evident. Like when you really like a married woman until she tells you she wants to divorce her husband for you. That kind of revelation.
Kiambu Health Crisis Persists:
Kiambu county is in its fourth month facing a health crisis after the doctors resorted to down their tools.
Patients at the Kiambu Level 5 Hospital have been forced to leave for their homes.
