Macharia Gakuru books are very useful at providing a patientâ€™s view of
the whole experience and it has highlighted for both of us the potential
problems with communicating properly with our patients the complex
nature of kidney failure, dialysis and transplantation. You are to be
congratulated both for writing these records of your experience and
also the other things you have done to improve renal care in Kenya.

The journey Macharia Gakuru has taken in the last three years has been
really tough, but his ability to take adversity and then to turn it into
triumph, has been a lesson for us all. The kidney dialysis initiative he has
personally spearheaded has already made a huge difference to peopleâ€™s
lives in Kenya, and his future plans will go much further.

Gakuru told his story giving an insight to us as medics, to patients and
their relatives and to general public in a way that it is easy to read,
interesting. He expresses the pain of the author and makes the reader
appreciate the difficult journey of a kidney patient. The depth and
details of the story is breath taking. Enjoy the read.
