Jahmby Koikai’s hearty plea to Ruto during his U.S. visit

Journalist Mary Njambi Koikai, widely known as Jahmby Koikai, has sent a health proposal to President William Ruto, who began his three-day national tour of the United States on Monday, May 20, 2024.

Using her social media accounts, Jahmby urged Ruto to also consider treatment for endometriosis, highlighting that investment in healthcare is one of the key areas of his visit.

Jahmby, who suffers from endometriosis, explained that it is a passion for young girls and women struggling with this dreadful disease to receive proper treatment at a prestigious hospital in Atlanta, Georgia.

“This is a sincere call for help to a few Kenyan leaders, but allow me to first address this to President William Ruto as he undertakes his visit to the United States. Honorable President, one of the key areas in your visit is investment in healthcare,” she said.

“Atlanta, Georgia, is a dream city for every young girl and woman who has ever struggled with this terrible disease called Endometriosis. There is a center dedicated to restoring the lives of girls and women who have been crippled by this disease. The @centerforendocare,” she explained.

She mentioned places she would like President Ruto to visit to gain an understanding of the disease and how they could potentially help many women in Kenya.

“As you begin your tour of the United States, I would like you to visit places that would help millions of Kenyan women silently fighting this disease, such as the Endometriosis Care Center and the Women’s Center at Northside Hospital,” she elaborated.
