"content": "acute respiratory distress syndrome, a complication of COVID-19 which can easily kill. You can stay without water or food for days, but you cannot stay without oxygen. In my county of Garissa, the county referral hospital, which is a Level 5 hospital, does not have an oxygen plant. Many patients have died on their way to Nairobi because the hospital lacks oxygen. That hospital has an allocation of Kshs340 million per year as conditional grant and yet, the county government has failed to provide an oxygen plant in Garissa. The nearest oxygen plant is in Nairobi. A COVID-19 patient who uses 15 litres of oxygen per minute, will consume so many cylinders of oxygen. The only way you can save life is to have an oxygen plant that can literally produce oxygen like a factory. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, without having facilities that are well run and able to provide those services, even if NHIF was going to pay for it, which other facility is outside Nairobi with those facilities? There is hardly any. We have to look for money to fund not only the NHIF, but also the facilities that are providing those services. How good they are? This is specifically in the counties and all Level 4 hospitals and above. With those many remarks, I thank you for giving me the opportunity."
