My trip to my elder sister’s home here in Mysore which is a small town 5 hours drive from Bangalore, India has been an eye opener.

This place is very beautiful but what is amazing are the hospital and affordable medical facilities. I went for dental check ups and the prices quoted are half or less than what we are charged in Kenya. Consultation fees comes to about Kshs 500.00 compared to the Kshs. 2,500.00 we cough back home. The drugs are almost a third of what we pay.

We can now see why Kenya medical care are way above the reach of a mwanainchi. The reason is; we  are being ripped off in Kenya! What we need are some selfless doctors who can give affordable medical services to our people.
