Kenyan hospitals must take their core duties seriously

The sad story of the late Alex Madaga, the man who was involved in an accident on October 5th 2015 in Nairobi and spent over 18 hours on life support in an ambulance being shuffled between various hospitals within Nairobi is a serious indictment on the National and the Nairobi County Governments.

This story highlights the inadequacies, weak policies and lack of clear guidelines in critical ministries and institutions that leave the ordinary citizens at the mercy of individuals who are guided by the principle of wealth acquisition; anything else is of secondary importance.
