Nairobi Woman Rep Esther Passaris Undergoes Spinal Surgery in India
Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris has undergone successful spinal surgery at a hospital in India.
In a post on Twitter on Friday evening, Passaris divulged that she jetted out of the country on December 31st and had her operation at the Care Institute of Medical Sciences (CIMS) in Ahmedabad, India on New Year’s Day.
“I flew to Ahmedabad, India on 31st December 2019 and successfully had Spinal Surgery the following day at CIMS Hospital,” she said.
“I thank God for the Gift of Life, my family for their unconditional love and everyone who whispered a word of prayer as I went in.”
This is the third time in a period of one year that Passaris, 55, has been admitted to hospital for surgery. Last September, she had an operation at the Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi to address issues with her back pain that dated back to 20 years ago when she gave birth to her son.
In January 2019, Passaris underwent thyroidectomy at the Nairobi Hospital, a procedure that saw her lose both thyroid glands.

They go to India. Where do the rest of us go? Why doesn’t the Uhuru government do something about healthcare in Kenya? Is this on tax-payers money. I wish we can all be member of parliament. That’s where care and money is. The rest of us are second class citizens.

Going to India or wherever else is for Heavywheight FAT Cats of Africa for Treatment. If you ain't FAT in Kenya (especially Corrupt and at Taxpayers's expense), you ain't going out of the Country for Treatment (except maybe going to Tanzania to a Mganga wa Kienyeji).

If all lives are sacred, we should all have equal access to medical care regardless of class.We can not all be rich.We cannot all be chiefs,but for sure, if we belong to the government,it should provide equal access to all social amenities that provide care for all.
Iam sure this can be done with prioritizing our goals,and using our resources wisely.We are now an oil exporting country. Best way for wananchi to enjoy this God given forture,it at least to have access to good treatment, good schooling,good housing,and security. Is that asking too much?

We have oil in Kenya, yes, and we have even started exporting some. Has it drawn down oil prices? Who does the oil benefit? If you think it is the poor men and women in the country, you have another think coming. The oil is for akina Uhuru, Ruto, and Mchawi and their kind. The common man will only feed from the smell as these guys feast on the proceeds of the oil. The poor in Kenya are doomed.

@ Joseph Kimatu,what do you suggest?It would be too risky to wrestle the wealth from the fellows you mention.They have bigger muscles,and weapons than the common man.But the common man can vote them out.Why he,has not confounds me.Any idea?

Ya, there is oil in Kenya alright! The last 200 barrels went to China to pay the ever growing high interest loans.
The only way Kenya’s oil proceeds will be properly secured is by creating a deposit only trust fund, like Norway does, without using the money!
Ya, we all heard 200 barrels were shipped to the Chinese to pay for the highly priced debt burden that has left Kenyans enslaved to the chini-wee-eewoyanee!
The only problem with Kenya is the greedy politicians who are salivating to steal the oil revenue and have no set plan how to manage the oil revenues.
Should the oil money fail to be properly secured, Kenya will end up like Nigeria where the oil revenues go to the pockets of the very few thieves.

We are coworkers with the Lord. Don’t we have a role to play to right what is wrong? If these guys will not improve our medical facilities, hire more doctors, make sure that medical supplies are properly done and each hospital has enough to give the patients, then vote them out. You cannot keep hyenas in your barn and expect your livestock to thrive. When shall we rise up and demand accountability from our leaders? Why do we treat them like gods who should be obeyed without question? The day we will stop worshiping them will be our day of salvation. I hope it comes sooner, but I know it will be sometime. We cannot sustain the status quo forever. Before the donkey collapses from the load on it’s back, it should use the little energy left to kick whomever is driving her to extinction. Watching yourself die without doing anything is tantamount to suicide. Should we die with our eyes open?

You folks and your "pole". total bull. why can't they fix kenya for all kenyans? when you come here with your foolish pole, where are the poor kenyans that these fools are supposed to help going? how many can afford to go to India for sub standard medicine?
I work as a healthcare professional in the states and that is a platform walker she is utilizing, wrong device. she should have a rolling walker to allow for healing and decreased pressure on back. kenyans can do better. get rid of these stupid politicians ASAP and put people who are game changers and fight corruption. I mean, these leaders have been stealing and now wanna create positions to put themselves back in power? what have they done to stay in power? sell kenya to Chinese??????
