Patients continue to suffer as doctors' strike continues

Far reaching effects of the debilitating medics’ strike on Thursday continued to sink in with more than 200 people succumbing to their ailments, Saturday Nation can report.

Health Cabinet Secretary Cleopa Mailu this week failed to release the exact figures of Kenyans who have died, but going by President Kenyatta’s statement earlier on that 20 people had died in the first three days of the strike, the number must have passed the 300 mark.

Kenyans are still going into another week without a solution in sight.

The front page had the story headlined that 300 had died since the doctors in Kenya went on strike.

Lovely people, one person told me that one of the problems in Kenya that they have from time to time, is just old tribal rivalries. Those sometimes boil over and one reads about the mayhem.
