This week I had four encounters in my office of healthy Kenyans who paid me a visit so I could explain to them what was going on in the health sector. I had another similar conversation with acquaintances at a public sector function. I am pleasantly surprised that at last ordinary Kenyans are beginning to ask the right questions regarding the health sector — and I went straight to the point, having been in the sector for nearly 30 years. The subsequent ones have only served to worsen the already heavily depleted public health sector. Hence the need for a functional public health system that assures universal health access to all without suffering financial depletion.
