If u are patient then wait until he grows older (kindu) 5 years) then its free in most good public hospitals.
You can put the 30K in a fixed savings account for his future school fee, or buy some cheap shares currently on offer at NSE.

2-dime advice!


Thanks Impunity but i wanted it done when he is still young

For those looking for a Paedeatrician, Dr Miriam Karanja of KNH Doctors plaza is good . The long line in her clinic is a good testimony to this.
She charges Kshs 1,500/=.Her patience and motherly love is an assurance that your baby will be well even before she prescribes any medicine.

Im all smiles on her services.To get her you need to be patient because she is not in hurry to make more shillings on the next customer.


@user, i took my 5month old baby to dr. Karanja's clinic at knh for a routine check-up confident that she came highly recommended on this forum. She examined her and to my dismay proceeded to inform me that my baby had symptoms of rickets! She then wrote her a prescription for calcium and vitamin d. I bought the supplements and began administering them to the baby much to her dismay, imagine 5mls twice a day and she absolutely hated the taste and would really resist. So i felt it was too much and decided to seek a 2nd opinion from professor were at uhmc. To my utter shock, he examines her and completely dismisses dr. Miriam's diagnosis and tells me to stop giving her the vitamins as it is unnecessary. He then adds how surprised he was at what she said especially since she was his student. You can imagine how upset i was that my daughter was misdiagnosed and forced to take unnecessary vitamins. For 1 week I had carried the burden that i was not vigilant enough in her care and made her get rickets. Bottom line is, always get a second opinion and don't put too much faith on one doctor.



Kindly note, kids have rickets like symptoms before they attain the age of 2 years, am surprised a doctor would not know this!!

My daughter had similar symptoms, coughs, colds, etc and i visited Gertrude's every time and would get antibiotics but they colds wouldn't go away, the Paeds at Gertrude's said she was getting reinfected at school, this made sense since she never had the colds and coughs during the holidays, however on one occasion she had the cold for three consecutive weeks, each time they would change the drugs but she got worse, one time the doctor said i should give her honey and lemon (i look back and think i must be stupid)and sent me home. A day later at night she complained of chest pain, i was not home, my housegirl called a friend to take her to hospital and naturally she asked her where i normally take her whenever she is unwell. So she was taken to Gertrude's and they diagnosed Pneumonia. She was treated and got better, just thanking God that their was a good doctor that day.
Recently, a friend's son fell while playing, took him to the clinic at City Cabanas, they said he was okay yet the boy was screaming meaning he was in pain, the boy happens to be autistic so they said he was behaving like any autistic kid would. She later took the boy to Nairobi hospital, they discovered the boy had sprained his neck hence the pain whenever he would move and the screaming.

I used to visit a Dr. Muiva at Reinsurance Plaza not sure he is there anymore, lots of experience and wisdom.

I met someone i happen to know, who happens to work there, in her twenties, no kids of her own, how can i trust that person to treat my child? i have over the years realised some things come with age just like old wine.

Someone recommended GNLD supplements, Vitaguard and Vitasquare for my daughter, she has not had a cold in a while and am doing half the recommended doze. the two cost around 5k enough for two and three months, Six and four for me, since am doing half the recommended doze.

Dr Muiva, was the best pedeatric docter I ever came across. Sadly, he left us . He had mentioned to me that his daughter had taken after him. I hope she does him proud.
