Medics deliver bundle of pain to expectant mothers

In the past few days, we have had good, bad and depressing news on maternal and child healthcare. The good news is that Denmark has donated Sh7 billion to boost maternal and childcare programmes. The bad news is that incubators at Kenyatta National Hospital are out of order, putting lives of babies at risk. The depressing news is that Mrs Boke Kone was turned away from a health centre where she had been rushed to give birth.

Let’s dwell on the bad and depressing news. Why hasn’t KNH replaced the incubators? Doesn’t it charge for its services? Despite these questions, PointBlank was impressed by KNH doctors’ openness on the crisis.
