The doctor/patient ratio in Turkana is 1:1,000. The nurse/patient ratio is 1:5,000, which is really impossible. Medical facilities are also non-existent. People have to trek for kilometres. We are not even talking about affordability - it is accessibility. We are actually talking of the basics where physical structures are. We do not have medicine and vehicles. For some areas, we should be talking about the basics."}
