When you look at the devolution of the health sector and the allocation of funds to these hospitals, most of these Level 5 hospitals at the county level do not have capacity to handle some of this equipment that is being given to them. Again some of this equipment has been procured by the central Government. The county governments, in most cases, are just being given this equipment to go and make use of it. So, you find that they do not have the capacity to handle that equipment. They do not have even a place to place them.
