Government Urged to Regulate Number of Kenyans Seeking Treatment Abroad

Government Urged to Regulate Number of Kenyans Seeking Treatment Abroad

Avenue Hospital CEO Imran Osman Yusuf has called on the government to implement regulations regarding the referral of patients seeking medical treatment outside of the country.

Yusuf underscores the notable advancements in healthcare services within the region, particularly in the realm of intricate medical procedures. Additionally, he draws attention to the fact that many Kenyans can be treated locally for ailments like cancer. To facilitate this transition, he proposes that the government implement regulations on the number of Kenyans seeking medical treatment abroad. By doing so, not only would esteemed local facilities be equipped to address terminal illnesses, but it would also foster the growth of medical tourism within the nation.

Avenue Group General Manager Peter Ntege highlights the hospital's ongoing dedication to expanding and enhancing its range of specialized treatment options. In particular, he points out the recent establishment of the Executive wing, which not only addresses patient privacy concerns but also plays a crucial role in the hospital's overall development. Dr Ntege further emphasizes their firm commitment to boosting medical tourism within the East African market. He stresses that their services have been meticulously crafted to meet the growing demand for specialized healthcare in Kenya and the wider East African region.

Dr. Ntege reiterates the hospital's commitment to forging strategic partnerships to enhance healthcare availability. He stresses their aspiration to establish a lasting reputation for exceptional care. Dr Ntege calls on Kenyans to explore domestic medical services rather than seeking treatment overseas, citing the remarkable expansion of the country's healthcare industry. The specialized clinics in the new facility prioritize preventive, rehabilitative, and curative care, with a particular emphasis on the holistic welfare of patients, their loved ones, and the community.

Creating a healthcare system that prioritizes excellent care and removes obstacles to access is no easy feat. Said, the person responsible for constructing the executive wing, conducted thorough research and engaged in meaningful conversations with various stakeholders, particularly patients who consistently voiced their desire for healthcare that is convenient, top-notch, and reasonably priced.

Total BULSHIT. Health facilities rip of patients at their most venerable stage. Instead of building an “Executive Wing” that only the super rich can afford, how about they make existing facilities good enough and affordable for everyone.

Yusuf - why do you think patients are going abroad for treatment? Many hospitals in Kenyan (yours included) are charging arm and leg for a very poor quality of treatment.

Secondly, most of those hospitals are using fake meds made of chalk from China, etc. Thirdly, doctors in Kenya do not care about the patients they treat and most of the patients end up dying because of malpractice and negligence from the unqualified doctors.

So don’t bring your ass to Kenya from Yemen and start asking the government to regulate where patients go to get treatment. Nonsense!

I bet all these clowns cutting the ribbon go to hospitals abroad because they don’t even trust their own hospitals and the doctors in those hospitals (themselves).

I certainly would be flabbergasted and scared if i had to go to a doctor in Kenya for the smallest treatment (like a paper cut on a finger)! They should not tell patients what to do when anyone gets sick.

Kenyans are dissatisfied with anything the medical field has to offer because the quality does not match the cost.

Building fancy wards does not mean the doctors in Kenya will offer high standard of treatment simply because the building look nice. Going to a hospital in Kenya simply means going bankrupt. Hospital hold patients hostage over huge bills which accumulate very quickly and the medical treatment is very poor (hugely bad)!

Kenyan doctors are feared by nearly every Kenyan because nearly all of them are focused/geared toward how much money they can make out of every situation. The doctors make a simple treatment look bad to maximize on the amount of money they charge.

Kenya has the most expensive hospitals in the world and the doctors are very poorly trained in whatever they do.

Yusuf should understand that the patients have a right to get treatment any where in the world and the government should not regulate the patients choice of a doctor! Crooks like Yusuf comes to Kenya to tell our government to impose the bad regulations that are found in his country ran by dictators. Wacha ujinga Yusuf!

@Yusuf - if you build a good medical treatment reputation in the Avenue Hospital, patients will flood to your hospital. Stop acting like a lunatic telling the government to regulate where people go to get treatment!

BTW: “Avenue” sounds like one of those conner joints where sick people get treated with fake shamba Miti and left to die! We don’t want medical blackout like the current state of electricity blackouts in Kenya. You should know better….!

Patients life is not a small feat! Don’t tell us about the structures you have build to attract yourself some money! Show us the quality of treatment that you can offer to the Kenyan people. Where is this guy from? Bomb fuck Egypt?

You can cut ribbons all you want but if patients are dying left, right and center because of poor treatment, the flowery looking buildings are of no use.

Kenyan Doctors are currently the most feared creatures in the world. They are acting like the old Dr Jack Kavokian who used to euthanize patients in a Chicago hospital at his will and of his own choosing!

The Ruto government got no business regulating where people go to get treatment. Very shameful that a whole CEO Yusuf can run his dirty mouth in support of such a regulation! Yusuf, that is a very poor thought from a hospital CEO!

Toto is very jealous that of beautiful and brainy women can be found among men! She is also jealous of men with huge balls because Kevin has a shriveled small stick with some old ugly small balls. Toto is just speaking of her experiences as an ugly woman who can only afford conner-store boys while they are intoxicated with liquor!

A few months ago I was in Kenya and visited a patient at Kenyatta Hospital. I was shocked to see pastors holding services right inside the dormitory style setting, not one pastor but two praying quite loudly. There was this old woman who was trying to take a nap and it was obvious the noise was distressing her. I understand the role of faith in our daily lives but silence has also been described as golden and there is a time and place for everything.

Pastors praying for healing coz there's no hope in poor medical facilities. They don't need to make noise though. That's not biblical. They need to learn about authority of the believer

Unfortunately this is the by product of over populating your country when you have scanty resources.
Yes human being are renewable resources,but not in by themselves,they must have employable skills, education, ability to conserve,or create usable products.In other words productive. Otherwise they will be just a drain on limited resources,and a burden on those who toil.And we know what happens when people fight of scarce resources. They break the law without a worry.Which is a scary scenario for any country.

India has same population, 1.4b just like Africa but Africa is 11x India size. So it's very congested and with 56pc open defecate India is a septic tank on the surface. Don't go there for surgery. Those who go come back and live a few years. Caste system responsible for open defecate.

bush burial okay, from 200 years ago backwards bush and wild animals was ok burial place. Africans lately worshipping the spirit of death and burying millions in the earth. The corpse being spent on massively no one wanted to help with hospital bills or visit him. Same day burial like jews and muslims is the best. Those folks move on fast and save money. Person is buried where he died.
