Kenya's Health Care System Ranked Second Best in Africa - Numbeo Report

Kenya has been ranked as having the second-best healthcare system in Africa by Numbeo - the world’s largest cost of living database.

Numbeo, a crowd-sourced global database of quality-of-life data, revealed that only South Africa beat Kenya in terms of quality health care offered to citizens.

Noteworthy, Kenya was the only East African nation in the top 7 countries in Africa offering quality healthcare.

Kenya scored 61.1 in Health Care Index which was bettered by South Africa at 64.0.

“Health Care Index is an estimation that evaluates the overall quality of the healthcare system, including factors such as healthcare professionals, equipment, staff, doctors, and costs,” Numbeo explains.

The Health Care Index is crucial as it provides an assessment of the healthcare infrastructure, services, and resources available in a specific location.

Apart from the Health Care Index, Numbeo further uses the Health Care Exp Index which looks at the quality of a healthcare system by emphasising the positive aspects.

In the Health Care Exp Index, Kenya scored an impressive 108.3 but was again bettered by South Africa at 115.3.

Other countries that featured in the top seven included Tunisia, Algeria, Nigeria, Egypt and Morocco.

Only South Africa and Kenya had a Health Care Index of above 60 with Tunisia and Algeria scoring 57.0 and 54.7 respectively.

Nigeria, Egypt and Morocco were all under 50 on the Health Care Index at 48.7, 47.5 and 44.7 respectively.

The ranking comes at a time when President William Ruto’s administration is seeking to improve the healthcare system through the rollout of the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF).

Once fully implemented, Kenya will join an elite club dominated by developed nations which offer universal health coverage to its citizens.

Haiti Citizens Jam Radio Stations After Kenyan Court Bans Ruto From Deploying Police

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Radio stations across Haiti got jammed with calls just hours after a court in Kenya blocked the deployment of a U.N.-backed police force to help fight gangs in the troubled Caribbean country.

Many callers wondered and demanded: What's next?

Few know.

Uncertainty and fear have been spreading since Friday's ruling, with violence reaching new records as gangs tighten their grip on Haiti's capital and beyond.

"Absent a robust external mission that would be deployed very soon, we are facing quite a tragic scenario in Haiti," warned Diego Da Rin with International Crisis Group.

Gangs control an estimated 80% of Haiti's capital. In recent weeks, they have attacked and seized power in previously peaceful communities, killing and injuring dozens, leading to widespread concerns that they will soon control all of Port-au-Prince.

The number of people reported killed last year in Haiti more than doubled to nearly 4,500, and the number of reported kidnappings surged by more than 80% to nearly 2,500 cases, according to the most recent U.N. statistics.

Meanwhile, Haiti's National Police is losing officers at "an alarming rate," while those still in service continue to be overwhelmed by gangs, according to a U.N. report released this week. More than 1,600 officers left the department last year, and another 48 were reported killed.

"All I will say at this time is that this is a major setback for the people of Haiti who yearn to have a stable country to live in," said Roosevelt Skerrit, Dominica prime minister and former head of a Caribbean trade bloc known as Caricom. "The decision of the Kenyan court warrants an emergency meeting of the friends of Haiti to determine with the Haitian people the plan B."

Bahamian Prime Minister Philip Davis did not return messages for comment, nor did the office of Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness.

Hugh Todd, Guyana's foreign minister, told The Associated Press that the trade bloc will likely meet soon to discuss the implications of the ruling as it awaits word from Jamaica.

"We will have to see if there is any legal space for us to operate," he said, referring to whether there are any other legal options that might allow Kenya and other countries to move forward.

U.N. officials have not commented since the court ruling.

Many Haitians grumbled about Friday's ruling, including Marjorie Lamour, a 39-year-old mother of two who sells women's lingerie out of a small container she carries with her. She is forced to keep her load light in case she must run from gangs.

"Some days I'm here all day, and then there's a shooting and I'm running, and I come back home without a cent," Lamour said.

Da Rin, with International Crisis Group, said the mission backed by the U.N. Security Council did not specify that Kenya would be the one to lead it. He said it opens the possibility that another country could take the reins without additional meetings and approval from the council.

As Haiti awaits the possibility of a plan B, Da Rin said he worries that the situation could only worsen, especially given the recent arrival of former Haitian rebel leader Guy Philippe, who has not supported the Kenyan-led mission.

"With this news, the desperation of Haitians to see a way out of the security crisis increases," he said. "They may make some slightly radical decisions."

please those two names are not Nigeria,and those guys are definitely not Nigerians.

So without passport the Kenya police believed he was Nigerian because he said so.

Look closer they look more like Ghanians and their names OVIE OPIA and the other Sound Ghanian to me.(no pun intended).

Last time it was an EThiopian claiming Nigerian when he was caught commuting a crime.
I knew there was something fishyabout the investigation.
EVERYONE WANTS TO HIDE UNDER THE NANE NIGERIAN TO COMMIT CRIME. And the lazy security men would rush to believe without adequate evidence.
THE NIGERIAN HIGH COMMISSION NEEDS TO BRING SUCH PEOPLE HOME AND CONDEMN THEM TO A FIRING SQUAD.

They are Nigerian my bru. Johnbull is from Delta state in a village known as Obiariku. He has spent much of his life in Asaba. His parents are poor farmers and he has brothers. Back in Nigeria the relatives used to know he is a rich business person in Kenya.

There are three suspects in the murder case. a Nigerian, among the suspects was arrested at airport. Two others are Kenyans but the news made it sound like the Nigerian arrested is the prime suspect.

I tried to look out for the Nigerian name in d news, but nothing could be found, I guess it's like that cos he's still a suspect and not an offender.

Name you said....

Lol. Not that I enjoy this dick measuring context most times (I'll just do this for fun), but at least there's a Kenyan YouTuber who visited Abuja and her comment section had so many Kenyans saying Abuja is more beautiful and serene than Kenya.

She also made it clear it's her best West African capital and she prefers it so much to Lagos (not that it matters much though).

So at least Abuja has some pass marks here and there 😄😂
Are there videos of Kenyan bloggers visiting Accra where the comment section has many Kenyans saying Accra is better than Nairobi in any way? 😄

Note: I don't believe Abuja is a city in the mode of Lagos and Nairobi in terms of activities. Abuja perhaps wasn't built as a commercial nerve so I wouldn't be doing that comparison.

I only gave a reply to your question.

Abuja is ok for what she does just like Washington is ok for a capital. I wouldn't say impressive except for the wide lane roads. The youtuber was a little on the hyping side to attract Nigerian viewership and Kenyans supported her as is the norm of supporting one of our own. But for Accra you will never find one single Kenyan or Nigerian wowed by the zoo. I would classify it in the 4th of 5th tier of African cities with the likes of Bamako, Kampala, N'Djamena etc.

Ghana is a tiny dot to make such difference.

I totally agree tenfold. Tiny and irrelevant.

It is what is obtainable in Ghana that publicised Ghana not just her people.

Like what exactly?

American coming here can trace their slave trade history down here.

Exactly. Thats the only thing they come back for, back to the roots Kunta Kinte. The other thing you have is some good but not excellent PR and the fact that Obama praised you in the past which multiplied the number of black americans who wanna return to the motherland. If not for Obama the Kenyan, Ghana would still be an irrelevant Togo-level country with a Ouagadougou-level Accra. Needless to say, most re utterly dissapointed by the backwardness obtainable.

Our northern city will passed away as a london to turkana . While Nairobi has nothing special that Accra lacks

Which is your northern city? I can name a few cities in Nigeria but not a single one from Ghana except Accra.

Was Ghana hyped when she was adjudged with top five best electrified country in africa way ahead of kenya . At least this can be addressed physically.

Where is this report?[/quote]

Just40:
they said development and you too you're saying hype..... should I show you foreigners who hype Ghana's development.

The funny thing is Ghana is just relax in her corner and getting dragged into crazy arguments...as soon as you start to ask for details, you see child like fumble.

The very same foreigners return back from Kenya into Ghana after realizing how backward it is and finally decide to settle here.

No, honestly, nobody dragged Ghana here. You are the ones trying to force yourselves into a conversation that has nothing to do with you. The name Ghana is not even in the title of the thread. Instead of relaxing in your little irrelevant corner and observe heavyweights going at it you are busy trying to fix your irrelevant country here. Shame on you midgets!

Let me let you in on a little secret. If you find that you are the one hyping yourself and give yourself praises, its probably becuse you aren't that much for others to notice. If Ghana was really as good as Ghanaians try to paint it, foreigners would already be the first to point it out. We never see foreigners hyping Ghana for development. All we see is Ghana hyped for democracy and black american back to the roots. Fyi the black Americans return to Ghana because of the same social media you say shouldn't be used as a yardstick. Nairobi and Kenya gets praised by foreigners rightfully because of development but not democracy. Its because third parties can judge better a country's development than yourself. Even black Americans who have lived in Ghana for years when they land in Nairobi they completely change their minds. So lets learn to accept what we have and work on what we dont. Ghana has democracy but dont try too hard to paint yourself as more developed than those who are way above your league like Nairobi. You just come out as petty as vindictive. You won't see Kenyans hyping their warped democracy but without even hyping their development foreigners do it.

Why would you go to such lengths to defend such vile criminality? The killer was one, a Nigerian national. The other two are suspected to be accomplices but were never at the crime scene. The Nigerian national was captured pants down trying to leave the country for Abuja after committing the gruesome murder.

Taliban Responds to Kenya in Ksh 68 Billion Trade War with Pakistanis addicted to Kenyan tea

Taliban authorities have dissociated themselves from billions worth of black tea being smuggled to Pakistan through Afghanistan.

Pakistan publication The Nation, reporting from Islamabad, stated that Afghan authorities shrugged off accusations from Kenya that the country was benefiting from black tea. This was despite a 159 per cent spike in smuggled Kenyan black tea to Afghanistan during the fiscal year 2022-23.

Afghan authorities told their Kenyan counterparts that the use of black tea in their country was negligible and attributed the imports to Pakistan businessmen under the guise of Afghanistan Transit Trade (ATT).

Kenya is incurring losses due to rogue traders smuggling tea to Pakistan through Afghanistan. In the 2021/2022 Financial Year, Kenya exported tea worth Ksh99 billion, but the amount dropped to Ksh88 billion in the subsequent year.

While the demand for Kenyan tea has not wavered in Pakistan, more people are buying the smuggled product.

According to PBS, a cup of tea in Pakistan was costing Ksh7 in 2012 but rose exponentially to Ksh23 in 2023.

With the minimum wage in the country pegged at Ksh7100, Dawn was worried that citizens were spending up to 30 per cent of their salary on tea.

“The imported tea from Kenya is blended to create each brand's distinctive taste and strength. The rest is all marketing,” the paper wrote.

Pakistan imports tea worth Ksh68 billion annually; according to Dawn, this was not sustainable for the country.

“If the entire country forwent drinking tea from Kenya for two years, the amount saved would be roughly equal to the last tranche of the International Monetary Fund loan that the country is desperately trying for,” the newspaper pointed the need for the country to cut down its caffeine addiction.

This was after the Pakistan government classified tea as an essential import commodity and the Pakistan Central Bank approved the use of US dollars as the transaction currency in the tea business.

Pakistan imports over 45 per cent of Kenyan Tea, making it Kenya’s largest trade partner in the tea sector.

Nigeria- This video captured President Bola Tinubu's convoy passing through a market on Lagos Island, eliciting mixed reactions from residents and traders. On December 29, 2023, Tinubu, during his December holiday visit, passed through the popular Idumota market on Lagos Island. Residents and traders expressed their frustrations and dissatisfaction, shouting in Yoruba “Ebi npa wa o” meaning “We are hungry,” as his convoy drove by. This response was notably different from the usual energetic displays and excitement that presidential convoys often receive.

The video, which surfaced on social media on December 30, 2023, showed President Tinubu's convoy navigating through the bustling lanes of the market. The convoy was described as comprising over 120 vehicles, including exotic SUVs like Range Rovers and Toyota Land Cruisers, as well as pickup trucks, ambulances, sedans, mini buses, and BRT buses. The convoy primarily consisted of VIPs, party members, and supporters, reflecting a significant show of opulence. However, the public's reaction highlighted their concerns about economic hardships and policy impacts under President Tinubu's administration, especially the end of the fuel subsidy regime and the resultant spiraling inflation and food price hikes

Away from the usual dixk measuring some food for thought.

What if the Bantu expansion had not occurred as it did, leading to the spread of Bantu people across much of Africa?

Africa would have been another Australia, another North America. Assuming the course of European history unravelled as we know it, the continent would have became another Atlanticist entity.

God made the African Bantu speakers and their West/Central African siblings a naturally strong, dominant race. They were resistant to the old-world plagues that European settlers introduced around the world. In fact, it is this natural tenacity that led to their tragic mass-enslavement throughout the Americas and Asia.

In contrast, people like the Hadza, the Khoi-Khoi or the San, who were in Africa before Bantus came to be, were bands of hunter-gatherers who would have been wiped out easily after colonization. They were no different to Australian or Tasmanian Aboriginals. Tasmanian Aboriginals are already wiped out due to European presence-not a single soul survived.

If you fail to imagine how this would have happened, just take a look into South Africa's history. Boers (Dutch colonialists), upon their arrival in the Cape of good hope, did not immediately start colonizing the Bantu-dominated east. Instead, they chose to steal land from the Khoi-Khoi- who were severely depopulated at the wake of an European smallpox epidemic.

The remaining Khoi tried to resist, but their social organization was irredeemably shattered due to contact with Europeans. They eventually became slaves to the Dutch on their own land i.e. were made to farm those lands.

Others served the Boers in various other ways. One among these was Sarah Bartman. Many Khoi-San mixed with the Europeans and created the “coloured" community. Meanwhile, others fled and assimilated into neighbouring Bantu tribes like Xhosa and Tswana. Few fled to Namibia to join their remaining brethren - only to be crushed by the Germans.

If you try to study the modern history of the Khoi, you may notice that what happened to them is basically the same thing that happened to American Indians in North and South America. I think the only difference between the two stories lies in the nitty-gritty details.

The descendants of Khoi herders in Western Cape are a severely endangered race today. Only certain thousands of pure-blood Khoi remain.

Son,
Kenya is totally different comparing with Tanzania. You develop a a small portion of Nairobi while 2/3 of a country is almost having no infrastructure.
While in tanzania, developments are wide spread throughout the country. If you argue,we can compare Turkana with any poor region of TZ and u will understand what am talking about

Then don't read too much from black Americans, these folks are not well informed. In fact,they are mostly dumb. Just imagine, a guy who claimed TZ is 30 years back,have never been in any part of northern or western north of kenya,but how can he say TZ is behind without knowing kenya?
I even laugh when he mentioned mouth wash like Listerine, even TZ have those,and we all import them from SA. But a stupid fella thinks having a mouth wash is development!
Next time tell a guy,if he keeps on talking lies,we will close the borders and he will have to witness massive starvations

Your country is a joke citizens cant afford to buy houses. Look at this estate that is empty after years. In Kenya such an estate would have been fully bought in weeks. Its only 10m. The american guys is just giving his honest opinion after staying in dar for weeks and getting his shoes filled with dirt all the time. You have no widespread development in tanzania instead everywhere is uniformly undeveloped. Kenya has countless areas with truly european/american level of development...mostly the surburbs of major cities are western level. The foreigners are just being honest.
