Dr Nga'ni,it is sad we had to lose the life of such a young man.As you say public health care is a pipe dream at the moment in our country and none of our leaders ever pays much attention to it.It is only with the recent articles by the Minister for Medical Services on his battle with cancer that the matter has got media coverage.

The only problem with us as Kenyans is we seem to have accepted our fate,that we will never get the leaders we deserve who will put public and national interests above that of their selfish needs.In my opinion once we have someone at the top who has a grasp of what the 40 million Kenyans go through in trying to put food on the table and accessing even what passes for basic health care this country will be on the right track.

I hope someone reads this,maybe even on of the presidential hopefuls in the coming elections and that they put their campaign teams hard at work in coming up with manifestos that will address this and other issues that affect us.

the current debate is: why offer free primary education to kids who will end up dying from treatable diseases?

The truth now is that if you do not have health insurance which can take you to a good private hospital or the cash to take you to the private wing on KNH,you have little choice.

It should however not be tragic because we lost a doctor. That we lose a young man in his prime(maybe many in a day) is bad enough.

As we blame Moi and others, i put the blame on us too. What are we doing about it??? We will elect the same leaders,watch cabinet appointments in our sitting rooms and discuss them with our spouses....sleep, wake up the next day and its business as usual from there.

I challenge you to start making a difference.. In your own small way.

In this day of devices and gadgets with cameras, what is done in the dark shall be brought to light.

They should have taken him to Nairobi or Aga Khan... a mere check of his name in the system would have shown he is covered!
Kwanza most private hospitals fully cover accidents!
