On a weekly Twitter Chat, #KenyaChat hosted by Daniel Maithya ( @DanielMaithyaKE ) every Tuesday 4:00 PM East African Time Kenyan and non Kenyan contributors had this to say:

I believe that despite all the super technology and bedside manner that is supposed to make you feel well cared for, the greatest danger to your health is a careless doctor who practises modern medicine. @DanielMaithyaKE— UK used boyfriend (@enock_kiptanui) April 3, 2018

We lack robust quality measures for many important aspects of health care. #KenyaChat We don’t have reliable, widely available quality measures for most of the things that really matter to patients, like the experience of care for patients

But again, quality health care should be provided to all Kenyans, regardless of who you are or where you come from, #KenyaChat

About 80% of Kenyans lack financial protection from health care costs and about 1.5million Kenyans are pushed into poverty each year as a result of paying for health care#KenyaChat

#KenyaChat standards of care need to be emphasized and measured as a performance indicator for Hoapitals, counties to achieve quality health care for all.

Quality of healthcare should be a key characteristic of universal access to health; prioritizing patient safety, satisfactory patient experience and effectiveness of care. #WorldHealthDay #Kenyachat

Quality of care is also a key component of the right to health, and the route to equity and dignity for women and children. #KenyaChat pic.twitter.com/nS96uVm3QE

@KenyaChat KNH and other referral facilities should only be accepting patients who have been referred by a GP operating in a lower level health facility. KNH is not a walk in facility. The reason this is allowed is due to bad service delivery at lower level facilities.#KenyaChat
