Forget roads, tarmac, devolution, SGR, technocities...we need well equipped hospitals!  Our cancer patients have to wait two years for radiotherapy Quote:With an animated, almost desperate gesture, she murmurs: “These are more than 1,000 patients booked for 2016... they do not know that they will have to wait an entire year for them to get treatment.
I cannot tell them that. So I pick their medical cards, put them in here and promise to call them soon. That ‘soon’ never comes for many.
“Most of them curse me because they feel like I am the one blocking their access to the machine. What they do not know is that I am also traumatised. Any normal person would be. Many are the times when, months after sending them away and promising to call them when a slot is available, I eventually call, only to be told the patient was buried a long time ago.” http://www.nation.co.ke/.../-/1227971z/-/index.html

What is "health sector?" Jose: If I make it through this thug life, I'll see you one day. The Lord is the only way to stop the hurt.

Health is expensive and unless we colonize some country and steal their resources, or get the infrastructure right so as to get more and more people paying taxes so that we enjoy the freebies wanjiku insists on then we need to forget of there being a happy picture in the health sector. Live healthy now, exercise eat well, drink socially if you have to and get to see that wo/man called a doctor at least once in a year. That's just the sad reality "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

I guess its time you perused some medical journals "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore
