Hospitals and physicians in Kenya are under fire for allegedly putting profit above patient care, which has resulted in a spike in malpractice complaints, incorrect diagnoses, and serious injuries.
Families have been seeking healthcare reform and accountability since 2012, when more than ten institutions were sentenced to pay substantial amounts for wrongdoing.
Medical negligence has an enormous effect on patients and their families, causing many to experience psychological trauma and lose faith in the healthcare system. As a result, the issue has generated extensive concern, demands for openness, and a focus on the patient.
At Kenyatta National Hospital, for example, clinical officers and registrars were on overdrive attending to patients, whose number is rising daily.
Cases of doctor neglect, malpractice, and kenyans dying unnecessarily at the hands of doctors. The doctors are overwhelmed with the numbers rising who are seeking medical help.
Despite the government's assurance, the medical professionals who accompanied DCI to Shakahola are now demanding their allowances.
The government is unable to meet the physicians' requests at this time, according to President William Ruto.
They can only hope for a resolution to the physicians' prolonged strike. President William Ruto abandoned the physicians to the mercy of well-wishers. For those who are in favour of the physicians' strike, President Ruto demands that they pay the requested amount.
Divided opinion According to Pastor Paul Mackenzie, "God visited me in prison and told me that doctors need to fast for two months to succeed" when asked about the current doctors' strike.
"The money that pays doctors is not the president's money," I'd like to tell him. Sen. Edwin Sifuna of Nairobi expressed his support for medical professionals and his desire for tax dollars to support them.
