Life is for the living

[Dr. Riziki🌜👩🏽‍⚕️🧘🏽‍♀️ @_mpekethu_]

Let’s talk about something as basic as gloves. One of the culture shocks I had in Germany is that in every patient’s room kuna 3 boxes of gloves in different sizes. Sometimes the healthcare workers will change gloves upto 5x when dealing with a single patient. Saa hiyo the most common phrase you’ll hear in KNH is “unawaste gloves/something else” and usually, the one or 2 boxes rotating in a ward are in the custody of a nurse and you have to walk around to find them or ask to get a pair. Mind you we’re not talking about a specialized medical device. Basic gloves.
But apparently we’re capable of handling another country’s epidemic.

Hapo surgical ward bado wanafanya dressing because of limited gloves, nurse anatumia glove moja kudreas kama 3 patients.

Things are tough outside here.

One day you will be at that hospital bed and you will feel what your favorite governor has done.

[Joel Jirani @JoelJirane]

Jamaa anashangaa level 5 hospital haina anti rabbies vaccine.

Kama hakuna clean gloves ndo vaccine itakua kweli?

Niliwasho kila mtu atafikiwa na siku yake.

Next year msifanye mchezo, huyo jamaa should go.

[Joel Jirani @JoelJirane]

Patient anatumwa normal saline, gloves, catheter, IV antibiotics ndio aingie theater anaona hapa ni kugumu anaita pastor wake alete maombi.

My God remember the sick.

This government has let down this country.

Hata giving sets hakuna, hii mi nchi gani bwana.

[Joel Jirani @JoelJirane]

Huyu patient amekaa ward 2 weeks because he can't afford 25k for this orthopedic plates yet governor was giving handouts to bodaboda guys to escort him.

Huyo patient anangojea miracle tu sasa.

The same patient amelalia bed miguu imeshikiliwa na blocks.

Sufferings ziko hapa hosy ni courtesy of politicians, na utawaona Sunday wakiomba kabisa.

[Joel Jirani @JoelJirane]

ESSENTIAL drugs worth 1 billion expired at KEMSA stores, while patients buy drugs from their pockets.

Bwana I told you guys mtafikiwa, ni vile siku haijefika tu.

Hadi patient anatumwa kuununua paracetamol that costs government 7 bob.

Hii ni nchi gani bwana.

The deadline to submit written views and memoranda on Kenya's Finance Bill 2026 is Monday, May 25, 2026, at 5:00 PM.

Act accordingly.

[The Cancer Doctor KE 🇰🇪 @Dr_Bosibori]

We normalised not paying self sponsored Residents, now they’re coming for the interns too.

Interns and Residents better unite and save the profession!

Internship and Residency are National Government functions. We need a structured way of transitioning from internship to residency with no gap years and these should be fully compensated

That half a billion would have purchased 200 dialysis machines and overhauled the entire medical field in Kenya, but they chose to spend it on Private Jets. Sijawahi ona president mjinga kama huyu.

[Nanyuki Billionaire🇰🇪 @lewis_ngunyi]

Kenyans, I need your help. Please read through 🙏🏾

Do you remember this story of this young girl that died in Nanyuki as a consequence of being mishandled by the police during the protests crackdown last year?

Remember this account @D__wy (Darwin)? He was present at the police cells when it happened? He's the one who identified the officer who brutalised Julia (God rest her soul) and stood bravely as a willing witness to this case.

Well, as at today, Darwin has been in police custody for 3 weeks. Here's his charge sheet. He's being charged with the offense of trafficking narcotics (heroin, mind you) and the officers behind this case have been frustrating the legal process, failing to produce documents relating to the case etc.

Darwin is being held in Nanyuki prison, having struggled to raise Ksh 50k bail set by court, (has been there for 3 weeks now). The idea of these false charges is to set the cost of civic participation so high to the individual that they refuse to take part in collective efforts if it ever got to it.

I've paid this price myself before. Steep. Painfully. And the state has the capacity to grind your life to a halt, long before people remember why they're doing this to you.

Now, 2 years ago, @IPOA_KE and security representatives assured me that this victimisation of young politically active Nanyuki youth would stop, and we resolved to maintain peace and calm.

It would appear that there's a growing appetite to test the resolve of Nanyuki residents once more. At a time when there are a million and one other reasons pushing people to a seemingly inevitable boiling point.

Fine.

Let's do it then.

This week, we'll attempt to resolve this matter amicably, as I still retain the almost naive belief that sense still reigns within the justice system, however many times I've personally been let down by it.

Then afterwards we shall explore all other available means as guided by Article 1 of the Kenyan Constitution on the explicit absoluteness of the people's power.

In the meantime, if you'd like to support Darwin's bail fundraiser, please get in touch with me.

Thank you.

There's this patient alikua na fractured femur, nailing done na amekua admitted for 3 weeks, he has been discharged lakini he can't go home because hana crutches.

He will spend this weekend in hospital bed as his relatives look for 1500 to buy crutches for him.

Sad!!!

[Turner🥲 @HKebeya]

A pt is put on theatre list, you prepare the pt from midnight and keep him NPO. Theatre ni moja inafika saa nane mchane bado pt hajaenda...inafika 3 pt anaambiwa akule theatre Iko occupied. The same repeats after two days again while the pt condition continues worsening. We need more theatres in our hospitals.

[Joel Jirani @JoelJirane]

That 104 billion that was used to build SHA system could have build 5 well equipped level 6 hospital.

These people enjoy when citizens are suffering so that we can beg them.

[Turner🥲 @HKebeya]

Mgonjwa wenu ametoka theatre na amemaliziwa operation. Lakini Kuna shida kidogo. Hatuna dawa za uchungu za kumdunga akishaamka kwa sababu hapa kwa hospitali hakuna. Sasa mtaandikiwa muende hapo nje kwa chemist mnunue mlete ndio tutamdunga,..Sawasawa.

[Joel Jirani @JoelJirane]

"Daktari si upigie governor alete dawa tunaumia."

Hii ni after patient amepata paracetamol tangu Tuesday.

Continue defending that politician, siku yako ikifika hakuna kulia.

[Turner🥲 @HKebeya]

A whole level 4 or 5 hospital doesn't have a CT scan, has no MRI machine. Biopsy once taken is sent to another laboratory outside the hospital which brings results almost after two months. Diagnosis is delayed. Patients suffer as proper treatment is delayed. We deserve better healthcare.

[Joel Jirani @JoelJirane]

Rusted beds are available but no beddings.

See how politicians joke with our health.

Governor of this county is busy singing TUTAM.

[Joel Jirani @JoelJirane]

Why should patients undergoing dialysis buy dialysis catethers yet they pay taxes?

Mimi najam sana.
