    "content": "The shortage of blood in hospitals is real. Today, there are patients at the Kenyatta National Hospital who will have to wait for over three weeks or a month and ultimately, they might be discharged to other health centres so that they can get blood. This piece of legislation is critical. It is critical because we shall finally be able to give autonomy to the Kenya National Blood Transfusion Services to enable it to even manage its financial propriety better. It might source help elsewhere as a body corporate, unlike the situation we are in, where it is dependent on a Ministry that has actually, in the real sense of the word, starved it leading to the situation that I had described earlier. This Bill seeks to spell out a process of recruitment and management, especially at the top level to strengthen collaboration at all levels of devolved governance and that will provide better service in this whole blood transfusion space."
