    "content": "We have been told that as a country we have 64,000 pints annually against a demand of one million pints. This is very serious and calls for a national health crisis. Imagine your annual need is one million pints and currently you only have 64,000 pints. Imagine if a national emergency occurs where we need blood transfusion for many Kenyans, God forbid. You know we have a culture of waiting for donation. I saw the Principal Secretary (PS) Health and Government getting excited about 354,000 vaccines, it is in media. Where is the responsibility of the Government to vaccinate the 45 million Kenyans? A country like China has vaccinated 1 billion and the United States of America has done 70 per cent. So, we are waiting for donation and a whole Government is in the airport past midnight waiting for a donation from Denmark and saying we are waiting for another donation from the USA. What is Government’s responsibility to the healthcare of its citizens in vaccinating? Why are we focusing on donations? I hope this Government is not going to wait for blood donations when there is an emergency. We have been told that there is an illegal export of blood pints in thousands and millions to neighbouring countries. We should not defend our neighbours, but say which countries and name public officers involved.
