Pumwani is the place. No sweat over cost but you need G4S to guard the baby. "Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least." Goethe

Total bill 152k or there about, with private doctor who also came with a paediatric. Docs bill was kindu 50k, paediatric 20k. It seems expensive paying these docs, in fact it seems like paying them for nothing coz most things were done by those nurses/midwives,like that Prof paed didn't not take more than 20mins there. Came when the baby was almost, received the baby, did a few checks, wrapped up the baby nicely, placed her on the mum briefly, then gave her to me and off he went...but again the story could be different in case of a complication that would require their expertise intervention. So in all we thank God and say Wacha wakule after all they spent more years in campus than we did.  Congrats wamapisha,you are chap chap,isthis with your wife ama mpango wa kando? Don't bother trying to induct wamapicha into your waywardness. You will not succeed. Lord, thank you!

hi sii mambo ya kicheko, those bills ziko juu, then you go back to the private hospitals for the vaccinations and those guys rip you proper - for a service that is free elsewhere - but the gynecologists make top notch helas, especially those who manage to market themselves properly to the middle class

So in all we thank God and say Wacha wakule after all they spent more years in campus than we did. I don't understand hii maneno. I thought that what makes a top hospital (or any institution for that matter) is firstly the human resource, the doctors in this case, and the facilities availed to them to perform their job. So when you opt to go to nairobi hospital, and decide to pay the huge amounts they have fixed (based on their reputation for professional medical service), you'd expect to be served by the top doctors who have given the hospital such a good name. But alas, 152k only hires you an empty room in the labour ward and gives you access to the facilities, but no professional service, no doctors at all. This is like taking your kid to Alliance, whose reputation has been built by the quality and committed teachers, and then being asked to bring your own teacher to handle your kid. Or going to a top restaurant and then being asked to bring along your chef and waiter. Or paying millions to attend Harvard and then being asked to bring along your professor to teach you. Quite absurd, and in all cases the results would be unsatisfactory.
