A good example is during the past 3 deaths, that is when people have been talking about cancer and the state of our health care. But when Doctors raise these issues we term them as greedy and we even support the government in firing them and arresting them. Just the other month in Kirinyaga several Nurses contacted Hepatitis because of the filthy state of the hospitals there. When the doctors there complained, Waiguru fired them and some stupid Kenyans were happy to be paid by her to sanitise her name on social media.
I have been seeing some people on social media talking of how they spent as much as 30k in private hospitals without admission for Malaria treatment. Last time I had malaria was in 2014 when I was in Nyanza for long holidays, a visit to the local public hospital was charged 20 to see a doctor, 60 for lab test and the drugs were free. 2 months ago, My friend was cycling without a Helmet and had an accident where he hit his head on the tarmac and was bleeding from his ears. We rushed him to some private hospital but they did not have a surgeon who could examine him so they suggested a different private hospital. Went there and they asked for 300k to admit him to HDU before their surgeons could look at him. We took him to Kenyatta and a neurosurgeon and ENT surgeon examined him and discharged him in the morning. All we spent was just 3k(this included the drugs he was prescribed). My point is if we listened to our doctors and made public hospitals better then we would not need to visit private hospitals and pay those huge sums.
On Mchanga, only 7% of the posts are about education, 27% are for medical bills. there are claims that over 60 Mps are being treated for cancer, so why are they not serious about making our health care better? Why are we as Kenyans not pushing them enough?
Just to show you how serious our government is, this is from the Hansard.

Our leaders only attend such meeting for per diems
We dont need to go to India or pay Large sums at private hospitals. We need to push our leaders to ensure that our public hospitals work effectively, We need to make NHIF works for everyone. We need to listen to doctors and work with them to make our healthcare better instead of calling them greedy and arresting/firing them for raising such issues. We dont need cuban doctors when we can train our own and pay them better. We need to fight corruption even if it means jailing the sister of the president. If these dont happen then we will continue sharing sad stories on social media and how our healthcare need to change
