State should act to get rid of medical quacks

Kenyans should be concerned over high number of quacks operating freely in public hospitals putting lives of patients at risk. This could be a reason why there has been increasing cases of misdiagnosis and unexplained deaths due to wrong prescription.

 

Some reports in local media have even revealed cases where quacks have been operating for years in public hospitals under the radar of qualified medics without raising any alarm. Questions on who hired the quacks, how many victims were allegedly treated by the quack doctors and effects of their diagnoses are yet to be answered.
