4 hours by foot to bring the old father


rs. She had to walk for 4 hours to bring her sick father to our hospital. The father has high blood pressure. For the past few days he had pains in the heart region, but he was nto strong enough to go to the hopspital by himself. So his daughter who lives in Gilgil went to Thugunui to get her father and then together they came to this place. Our doctor Wanjara examined the man carefully and informed the daugther in all details. He also asked if it would not be better to bring the father to her home. The daugther herself has four children and had to leave again, but the father will stay here for a coupe of days. By the way the father already missed medical examinations in the past. Otherways perhaps the doctor could have acted earlier.
