Medical services have been commercialised

Editor, Well, too easy to criticise, but I would rather go to La Croix du Sud than going to King Faisal Hospital where you cannot even get a specialist, except if you know someone there!

Editor,Well, too easy to criticise, but I would rather go to La Croix du Sud than going to King Faisal Hospital where you cannot even get a specialist, except if you know someone there!Medical services everywhere have become more of a business than saving lives! Pay first then get treated! 1- Rwandans should know that regular checkups are beneficial, at least you know the state of your health before anything happens. 2- Some basic health information should be given to all, e.g. a child who vomits and has diarrhea should visit hospital before it gets out of hand. Doctors should always advise how to contain some cases from home.Sometimes natural food serves as prevention. I miss days when Dr Agnes Binagwaho, Minister of Health, was practicing. She could give good prevention tips.
