  The current practice where newly inducted doctors called house officers with no experience whatsoever are left to experiment with (attend to) serious medical cases while residents, specialists and consultants are away must be put to a stop immediately. There must be at least one specialist present 24 hours in three shift rotations to supervise them. Our health system as it is presently is not the best. The situation in the countryside and rural communities is even worse.
  
  Do not doubt the wisdom in these words.

  True talk.A couple of years ago we took a very sick old woman to the hospital when her condition was getting worse in the night and when I saw the doctor who was called to her aid,I immediately lost faith and went to stand outside.Later my other colleagues came with bad news and I was not surprise. The so called doctor was a small chingilingi girl whom l believe was having her internship and the way and manner in she walked in and started checking for her pulse and other funny stuffs made me to walk out and from that I always pray for strenght and also hope that no one gets sick to be taken to the hospital.
  Our health sector needs serious attention for our leaders will always travel outside to seek medical help.
