Episode notes

In this episode we take a closer look at Kenya – one of two countries with the highest concentration of investments by Development Banks in private hospitals in the Global South.

Writer and journalist Morris Kiruga (also known as Owaahh) takes us through his role in uncovering patient abuse scandals at Nairobi Women’s Hospital, before Dr. Dhavji Atellah (Secretary General of the Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists and Dentists Union) and Wangari Kinoti (Global Lead for Women’s Rights and Feminist Alternatives at ActionAid International) share their perspectives on the broader impacts of development funding going to private hospitals in Kenya on both worker and women’s rights.
