That's how senior GOK doctors operate as well. Most of the other 'doctors' you meet in GOK hospitals and GOK referral hospitals are students in Medical school, some in their first years, others doing their masters and phd. Their lectures who are senior doctors will do rounds with them once in a while. That's why you'll never see the older doctors in the streets

They work on your laps aka lap dancers

@Alma loose the dictionary. A general ward (the one that caters for kawa patients like lets say those sick with Malaria, would need/require about 3 docs each working on 8hr shifts unless there's an emergency. The majority of the work in hospitals is done by clinical officers and nurses, the clinical officer is the person who sees you first and refers you to either a certain doc or to the lapb technician for testing. Docs work in rounds - they read the charts noted by COs and nurses and then decide if the patient will continue to stay or can take can go home and become an out patient.

Now incases of an emergency or epidemic all docs get in and are on call, now in such cases they should be paid overtime. That is when their hours are not fixed. There are days that some docs see less than 5 people in a week. Clocking in and out is important, so that docs working in those hospitals where there's too much of work can be well compensated.

I am particularly not for the idea that all docs should be paid the same. They need to put in time for their pay. Those jungu docs you see volunteering are here are putting in time while doing research.

Another thing, govt should stop subsidizing medical degrees. Let them take up student loans and pay up after employment after all, its guaranteed.

The government is busy campaigning while doctors are busy running their private clinics. Truly, to be poor is a crime.

..... while private medical enterprises are expanding rapidly......

Imefikia hapa - karibia if you are in good health.

Alma,

About those photos you have put, how will better and higher pay for the doctors ensure MCAs do not hijack ambulances for personal use and that there will be blood in the blood bank and that gloves will be available etc?

It seems they is some unclear projections being done here and fallacious arguments being advanced for whatever reasons. What is the strike for? For better salaries or for improved medical supplies procurement?

Muganda, to you the same question I have asked Alma I will ask you.

I have seen one that Dr. Samuel Oroko walked barefoot to school and had jiggers. His strike, in which other jigger afflicted children are suffering and have died possibly because he wants higher pay, how does it resonate with his history?

Or on Dr. Ouma Oluga. That his father died in a public hospital because he alleges he did not get the best health care, how does it resonate with his agitation for higher personal pay?

What is the real issue because logically for these 2, at least, a higher salary should not be their motivating factor in their profession.

There's no conflict as you want to put it. It's just one side that is refusing to do what they promised to do..That's not a conflict that's being a liar.

I don't know why you want to push the pay agenda but let me help you a bit.

Part of the CBA requires the gov't to facilitate hospitals with proper tools and equipment. Murchr has his own idea on how that should be implemented...But the issue is that the gov't whether they want to to call it central or county must provide proper tools and equipment.

I know that Jubilee really loves this section. After all they boast about all those cancer machines they have provided all over the world.

But as you can see from the stories above, the reality is a bit different. No blood, no meds, no gloves...I promise you there's no tissue paper in hospital and you have to go with your won..

Anti Burglar, do you think that can help the country?

Another issue....The doctors and this gov't agreed to increase the medical staff in the health care industry...Why?

Because for the doctors it means they work humane hours.

Jubilee should also love this aspect. After all they said sijui how many million jobs that were to come after the electric trains.

Think about the nurses, clinical officers, even sweepers in well equipped hospitals...The economy would boooooom!

But the reality is different. 4k doctors was the boast by the CS this morning...40 million Kenyans... don't even want to do that math.

Anti Burglar, do you think that employeeing more Kenyans is a good thing?


The CS today confessed on live TV that if they pay doctors, private hospitals would die?

mmmmhhhh so what if private hospitals died? Is it better for my cucu not to get diabetics medicine at Tumu Tumu hospital and die than the CS and his people pay 50k a night at MP Shah?




I know why this is a hot potato that even Raira is afraid to touch...

These people have killed the public health care system from the days of Moi...They have no one to blame. Raira can't blame, Uhuru, Uhuru can't blame Kibaki, Kibaki can't blame Raira..

They have been total failures and even Moi is shocked.

Now instead they shall blame 7 young men and women for deciding not to see HIV positive patients sharing the same beds with diabetics.

All they shall talk about is their salaries. For an mpig to talk about salaries is an early indicator of Alzheimers.
