Can you imagine a scenario where in a county there is no water and no drugs in the hospitals? Instead of having drugs in hospitals and putting up wards, they put up mortuaries. How do you put up a mortuary when you do not have enough drugs in a hospital? How do you purchase ambulances which transport a patient who has just missed Panadol in a dispensary? Instead of having enough drugs in a dispensary, or a health centre, you buy ambulances and build mortuaries. What is the essence of putting up a good mortuary when you do not have enough drugs in a hospital? This is waste. What Kenyans want are services.
