Why the 'free' tag became a very costly affair in Kisumu

It is the allure of free health services that made Kisumu resident Tom Opiyo register for the UHC programme.
Even though his mother, Mary Owiro, prefers her NHIF card – because of her preference for private facilities – Opiyo says UHC is better.
“For UHC you can get treatment in any government facility for free, even in a dispensary. However, for NHIF, you have to choose a particular hospital,” Opiyo says.

Pollution making life unbearable for Kisumu fishermen

It is 6 am, and James Ochieng’ wades the Lake Victoria water. He is returning home from work, but with nothing to show for braving the cold and waves all night.
Ochieng’ is not new to this trade. He has been a fisherman for 20 years. But clearly, with every passing year, the catch is dwindling. Now he wonders if he should try another occupation.
When he began fishing in 2002, Ochieng’ could net 400kg of Tilapia in a day, and from that earn Sh200,000. Today he says the maximum he can get from a day’s catch is Sh10,000. Sometimes he returns home empty handed.

Getting a jab: routine immunisation during the COVID-19 pandemic

A baby smiles and wriggles in his mother’s arms at a health clinic in Mathare informal settlement in Nairobi, while a nurse prepares in the corner. Health information posters line the walls. “Today I came to the clinic for the ten weeks’ immunisation,” explains the baby’s mother, Sarah Adhiambo. She looks down at her son, a black and white mask covering her nose and mouth.
Moments later the nurse holds cotton wool to the site of the injection on her baby’s thigh, while Sarah cuddles him closely. “He’s been given the rota vaccine first which prevents diarrhoea, then the polio vaccine, then the two injections that are being given at ten weeks,” she says.

Don't Take Vaccine, Catholic Doctors Urge Kenyans

Don’t Take Vaccine, Catholic Doctors Urge Kenyans
Catholic doctors have cautioned Kenyans against taking the COVID-19 jab saying it is unnecessary.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the Kenya Catholic Doctors Association (KCDA) objected to the vaccination and urged Kenyans to skip the vaccine.
The medics further called on faith-based organisations to stop the vaccinations drive saying the vaccine should not have been distributed in the first place.
“It seems there is something Bill Gates has invested in that requires the whole world to be vaccinated. What that investment is remains the million-dollar question,” said Dr Stephen Karanja.
According to the doctors, the only proven means of controlling the spread of the virus is wearing a mask, streaming of all symptomatic patients, treatment of patients and ensuring all patients who have Covid-19 to be observed for 10 to 14 days.
