The Health



Make it better.
So you don't have to fly abroad.
Make it affordable
So we never have to fundraise.
Make it accessible.
So we never have to lose one .
Mild ailments taking down the people.
Mitigation would have saved them.

Make the staff professional   
I remember the incidence.
That night Kelvin fell sick.
We had to rush him.
But at the reception was the worst kind.
So arrogant.
Can't she see he is hurting?
I hated that .
I never want anyone to experience that.

Back to my senses.
Why was the human so despicable.
Wasn't it supposed to be a calling?
Was it because of the harsh working conditions
Was it because of the corruption at Afya house?
Had it  boiled down to these levels
The system is rotten.
We need drastic measures.

Let's save the Health !
