Hospitals are in constant turmoil

A lot of noise this morning from the streets. Over the last week to 10 days two women have died at the local hospital allegedly from neglect. One pregnant woman was left for 14 hours after her near term baby died in the womb. The other had given birth and been sent home, but returned with an infection. Students from Masinde Muliro University demonstrated through the town in protest. They had requested police presence (which was very visible) and it was all orderly and peaceful, if rather loud.
