A prominent figure in Kenyan politics, 80-year-old Raila Odinga held the post of Prime Minister from 2008 to 2013. His long career is marked by five campaigns for the presidency—in 1997, 2007, 2013, 2017, and 2022—all of which ended without success.
Furthermore, Odinga’s daughter has also been undergoing treatment at the Sreedhareeyam Hospital in Thodupuzha.
In his 2022 ‘Mann Ki Baat’ address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi fondly recalled a candid conversation with former Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga during one of their meetings.
Odinga had shared the emotional journey of his daughter, Rosemary, who suffered from a brain tumor and underwent surgery, which left her with severely impaired eyesight.
Despite seeking treatment across various countries, there was little improvement until someone recommended India for its Ayurveda treatment.
