No CT scan = unavoidable death

Dr. Emmanuel Ayodi Lusigi tells his story.

Today i spent my day at Nyanza Provincial General hospital{JOORH},and am an angry man.angry at the system.i went to pick the body of my dear friend Eric Lugaya Kikuyu who had suffered a head injury 48hrs earlier following an RTA.Am angry because all that was needed for Eric tu ride his bike again was a CT scan but because the is no scan in a public hosi in the whole of western region and nyanza,and the familly dint have 100k to deposit in aga khan there is liittle that could be done in time to save this bright 22yr old who was doing bodaboda to help him raise enough money to continue his bachelor of agribussiness at egerton university after being opharned 2yrs ago and thus becoming the sole bread winner of his 4 younger sibblings

As we sat on t

he mortuary lawns with Dr.Belinda akinyi waiting for the forensic pathologist to come we reviewed the case and for sure it was a clear case of subdural heamatoma and our fears were confirmed as Dr muturi o
pened the vault and walaaaaa!all that was required to save him was a Ct scan.

The blood eric shed,the tears the family will cry,the superless nights his siblings will have are squarely on NYONGO,KIMANI and the Rest of the MAFYA at AFYA.

how can over 1/4 of the kenyan population lack a ct scan at there disposal.no Ct scan all the way from the highs of mt elgon to the plains of the isbania boarder yet mediheal hospital less than 10 YEARS after its establishment has an MRI!!!!

So today we struggle for all kenyans from the boda boda riders and our freinds and relative who use them, to those of us are lucky enough to drive around and incase of an unfortunate eventuality we will end up in a govt facility and face the same fate as Eric.

So REST IN PEACE MAN and for as its ALUTA CONTINUA.
