Nasty stories to say the least. "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

How much do this private doctors (gyna) charge if you use them? Depends on the doc. One doc i know charges 100k - current charge. and he's a good doc. Based in UHMC with rights at NH. mMy gyna also based at UHMC charged 85,000/= for twins and has direct lines with nairobi mostly agha khan and KN was able to book the thearter at his convinience. The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence

Nasty stories to say the least. Childbirth has always been the same since the days of Adam and Eve, and has never been easy and I respect women for that. Caeserians for many years were used as last resort medical interventions to save the mother and child. But nowadays it's more of a lifestyle thing. And a whole industry has grown from it.

Why would you go to a mission or public hospital and pay that 25k if your Insurance can foot the 200k bill in Aga khan or Nairobi Hospital? Ati attending public facilities will improve their conditions, how now? Kenyans make all sorts of sacrifices to make sure their kids get the best that life has to offer, i believe our parents did the same thing.....People have different priorities!

After all, how many thousands have you burnt in those so called investments. My advise is: if you can afford take your wife to the best hospital.

just out of curiosity, who has the numbers of the number of births that occur in kenya daily? out of these, how many are in these so called 'expensive' hospitals? Then compare the safety and mortality rates. My guess is hii maneno ya elective CS, 'expensive' hospital ni kujishasha tu, if you couldnt afford it ungezalia pumwani and be fine like all other kids, bora upeleke mtoto clinic and you get attention from qualified and experienced mid wives, nurses and docs. Otherwise kulipa 200k for popping!! na salo yangu ni 30k? Okiyal, Asi!!
