Ratio of Kenyan patients dying from cardiovascular or heart diseases every year has increased considerably over past few years. In fact, ‘World Health Organization’ (WHO) has stated that heart diseases have become the top-most cause of health degeneration in this country. Main reason behind development of heart diseases among Kenyans is poor eating habits, obesity and an inactive lifestyle. Unavailability of fully furnished hospitals and well-qualified cardiac surgeons also play a key role in increasing number of deaths in Kenya. Healthcare experts have further warned that this ratio may increase in upcoming years if people in Kenya will not take proper measures and adopt a healthy way of living.
