Heathcare a right never realised

Article 43 (1) (a) of the Kenyan Constitution 2010 states that, “Every person has the right—to the highest attainable standard of health, which includes the right to health care services, including reproductive health care.” But is healthcare really a right in Kenya?

In February 2018, two doctors Prof Stanley Khainga and Dr Nang’ole Wanjala together with another medical team behind them were able to reattach a hand on a boy who had been severed by a chaff cutter. The story threw KNH into busk of glory. The country went into a frenzy.
