Again, low cost private hospitals are a dime a dozen. The vast majority of Kenyans visit low cost neighborhood hospitals. During the strike, I visited my local hospital and paid a paltry $880 shillings and went on to get my medication from a local pharmacy.
You have to remember that well over 50% of Kenyans are in the middle class. Government hospitals are frequented by low income Kenyans for subsidized medication and treatment and the middle class and upper middle class for a range of sophisticated treatments.
We keep telling you that Kenya has a sizable middle class, but all Tanzanians want to talk about is Kibera.
Ask any Kenyan on this thread. When was the last time they visited a government hospital? The last time I visited a government hospital was in 1989, when I was born and the same year I got immunized.
Kenya is not Tanzania.
Are u just being argumetantative just for the sake or what? Why is it so hard for u to understand?MK254
Your fellow mentioned about the availability of private health facilities and affordability. Le me pause an additional question.... is $ 880 (refer a red text above) cheap for a normal mwananchi wa Kenya to see a doctor at a go?
Why did u leave out that word shillings besides that figure and instead focused on the $, which clearly was a slip? $880=KSH88000, or TSH1760000.Again, low cost private hospitals are a dime a dozen.

KDF walituma nurses na madaktary kwa zile hospitali kuukuu yani referal hospital... Walikua wanachapa kazi wakati dakatari wala kwa mgmoNimekuwa nikifuatilia kwa ukaribu kuhusu mgomo wa madaktari nchini. Imefikia mahala kila upande unajiona una haki na nguvu kuliko upande mwingine. Kila mmoja anatunisha misuli. Madaktari kwa upande mmoja hawataki kurudi nyuma na pia serikali kwa upande wake mwingine imeshikiria msimamo wake.
Maswali yangu ni:
1. Mwananchi wa kawaida wa Kenya (ambao ndiyo wengi) amewezaje kuishi bila matibabu kwa kipindi chote hicho?
2. Je hakuna madhara kwa wananchi yaliyotokana na mgomo huo?
3. Kama yapo madhara, nani atawafidia wahanga?
4. Kama hospitali zote za umma zimefungwa, kwa maana nyingine hazifanyi kazi kwa muda wa zaidi ya robo mwaka. Je kuna umuhimu wa kuwa na waziri anayesimamia wizara hiyo?
5. Je nchi haina madaktari wanajeshi ambao wangeweza kuhudumu katika mahospitali ya umma?
Wajumbe naombeni tujadili tukiwa na moyo mkunjufu, huku tukiwafikiria wanawake, waja wazito, watoto, wazee na wengine wote ambao hawana uwezo wa kufanya matibabu kwenye hospitali zinazomilikiwa na watu au taasisi binafsi. Wamewezaje kipindi chote hicho kujitibu??
