How many ‘Satrins’ will it take to take health sector seriously?

By Machel Waikenda

Events experienced days ago following attack at a Likoni church exposed a wanting situation the Government needs to address urgently.  As far as emergencies are concerned, Kenya has become a reactive rather than proactive nation. Plainly put, health reform has acquired a permanent bed at the Intensive Care Unit.  It was moving to see baby Satrin  Osinya, eleven-month-old boy with a bullet lodged in his skull following the attack wail in pain. Osinya needs brain surgery. Unfortunately, doctors qualified to undertake these kind of treatments are all in Nairobi.
