The Benefits of THE PATIENT RIGHTS CHARTER.
The patients’ rights charter was officially launched by the government on the 4th of October 2013. This document, although it is not very well known, will impact the health sector greatly...

Launch Of The Patients’ Right Charter
I had been waiting for this day anxiously and finally, it was here the 4th of October 2013. It was all the buzz in the office and you could...
First Steps
Silent No More
It all started with the silent no more campaign.
Where citizens took it upon themselves to speak out on behalf of the patient. It is still a very active part of what we do and anyone can take part. All you have to do is arm yourself with the Patient rights charter and speak out. Patients now have rights in Kenya!
See below for some History from our founder Alice Mwongera in an interview recorded in February 2011 with host Jeff Koinange.
As you look back we are going forward. Have a look around our website to see what we are up to and perhaps how you could get involved.
I will not rest until patients have rights
( Saturday Nation February 9, 2013) It began with my husband, who had kidney failure. His Insurance ran out and we eventually found ourselves at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH)....

When we made our submissions on the Essential Package for Health, we were very categorical that there was overemphasis on the Curative dimensions of healthcare whereas the Promotion And Prevention measures were neglected.
We still maintain our stand, that financing is good, but huge investment ought to be concentrated on prevention And promotion of healthcare.
We cant put the cart before the horse.
If this is true, those organization MUST lose credibility and return all the funding they receive from partners.
It is disappointing really if this is advanced ☹️ beyond here.
There are 498 cases that are unaccounted for in Kenya 🇰🇪
This is due to patients giving wrong details such that when the results are out, the infected person is nowhere to be seen.
There is trouble looming right there.
It's a sad affair.
Some of our Projects
The theme for the hand wash campaign was
“JE UMENAWA MIKONO?
Meaning ” Have you washed your hands?
This was mooted to get care providers to wash or sanitise their hands after attending to one patient before moving to another.
The training was hosted at KMTC Kiambu by Rosalind Murugami , Assistant director of nursing for Kiambu county under the leadership of Dr. Toro, Director of Health Kiambu county.
One of the activities which began in 2014 was to broker partnerships between public hospitals in Kenya and hospitals abroad. This creates a platform where our hospitals can receive technical support and also have the opportunity to exchange ideas in different areas of health care.
After many months of dialogue, Morris Moses Foundation, courtesy of Planetree and WHO, has been able to secure a partnership between Tigoni District Hospital and Griffins Hospital in Connecticut, USA. In the month of March, a team from Griffins Hospital and a representative from Planetree will be visiting Tigoni in order to understand the different challenges they face and the scope of what is needed to bridge the gaps.
Currently, Morris Moses is in talks with other hospitals and we hope to be able to sign more partnerships in 2015.
In 2014 we launched the very first Boresha Afya Star Awards, BASA.
Our focus was to recognise health care workers who stood out despite the different challenges they face. We gave the patients the opportunity to give us feedback and help us recognise anyone they felt went beyond the call of duty to make their experience in a hospital a better one.
Based on the information we got, we managed to acknowledge the efforts of a number of individuals in different counties.
Some of the counties represented include Nairobi, Narok, Marsabit and Kiambu.
Dr. Lusweti of Thika level 5, who was one of the most voted stars, was part of the team that accompanied Alice to the annual Planetree conference in Chicago where Alice was a speaker on rewarding excellence.
The team also had an opportunity to interact with medics from different parts of the world where Patient Centred care is being practised as well as visit a few hospitals that have been able to perfect Patient centred care.
This year we hope to be able to have even more medics attending the conference.
