As a country, Kenya is mourning the demise of former prime minister and long time opposition leader Raila Odinga. The leader passed on in a hospital in India. This comes amid concerns of why most African leaders choose foreign hospitals when they expect subjects to rely on local hospitals. A proponent of an ineffective hospital insurance received backlash following reports that he had been flown to India for treatment while hospitals back home were in poor state. A section of citizens ridiculed him even after death claiming he had betrayed GenZ and other protester when he joined the corrupt leadership of the current president, William Ruto.

I believe your government has the subjects at heart unlike our greedy ones. Now see this one has left billions behind.

Hmm...that is unfortunate. Leaders and affluent can afford to fly in foreign land for treatment but locals can't. I think that it's a sad state of affairs in many underdeveloped and developing countries. India has the same story. Private hospitals are too expensive. Government hospitals are affordable and have good doctors, but their infrastructure is poor. A lot has to be done.

@SIDIKIMPOLE Yes, it has got much better under the current regime in the last one decade. But still there is a long way to go.

It is sad. India also has same problem. Qualified doctors are there. But due to infrastructural shortage patients prefer international hospitals in other countries
