When Ms Jane Wanjiku visited Kiambu Level Four Hospital with abdominal pains, the doctor told her the only option was to have a lower abdominal imaging for diagnosis. Even though she wanted to get well soon, the 45-year-old agonised over the time and travel costs she would spend seeking the service in Nairobi.

But to her surprise, she was referred to the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Unit that is within the hospital.
