While doctors' strike last year got the attention of Kenyans more than the current health workers strike, I bet this has to be the worst strike in the health sector.

I got a call from a relative in shags requesting that I send him money so that he can be treated at a private hospital since the local district hospital had closed.

The Nation today reports a case of a mother and child dying after nurses turned them away in Kwale. http://www.nation.co.ke/.../-/y4bndxz/-/index.html

This comes a few days after the Bungoma accident where 9 children died. Rescuers had a hard time taking the injured to the few private hospitals in that area.

Mungu saidia sisi.

But surely, even if the nurses were on strike they should have attended to the lady who delivered. What they did is inhuman and totaly unacceptable. What is the difference between them and animals?

@ KIMIRI blame the government,why have they kept the hospitals open when they know they don't have capacity to provide services.Most of the normal wananchi,don't have a clue of how bad the situation is and keep flocking to the facilities for services.I wonder if there are means available to make the government compensate all who have lost their relatives.

Quite inhuman if you ask me. Even if they are on strike, I still believe there are human considerations. How do you watch a fellow human being bleeding to death? Wanyama!!
