Tears rolled down the 40-year-old cheeks of David Wachira as he recalled his successful spinal surgery in India.
“My parents came to pick me at JKIA and could not believe their eyes when they saw me walking like I used to 10 years earlier,” says the businessman from Njoro, Nakuru County.
He spent Sh1.5million for the hip and spine surgery at the Manipal Hospital and reckons “if I was ever to undergo any operation, it would be in India without a doubt.”

Dr Daniel Yumbya was not responding quickly to treatment after contracting Covid-19 in February.
The CEO of the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) had suffered persistent headache, high temperatures, nausea and lost his taste feeling. However, the coronavirus symptoms did not surprise him since he’s a frontline worker. He was only shaken when shortness of breath forced him to use supplemental oxygen in the five days he was admitted at the Nairobi West Hospital.
Medics placed him on Remdesivir, a drug that former US President Donald Trump used when he was down with Covid. Within two days, Dr Yumbya was back on feet again.
