    "content": "Also importantly, the amendment seeks to restrict the use of the Fund’s surplus funds in public healthcare providers in underserved or marginalised areas. Many of us in Nairobi and the surrounding areas are fortunate. There are far-flung parts of this country that are underserved by healthcare providers. The only facilities people can find in such areas are public health facilities. If we fund such facilities for them to purchase medical equipment, it would help. It will also help the Fund to bring down the cost of healthcare. The Members of the Departmental Committee on Health who have engaged with the NHIF will give the example of the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MRTH), where people from Kapenguria all the way from Turkana and the larger North Rift access CT scan services. Previously, they would have to come to Nairobi or go to Nakuru and other places for such services. It makes healthcare provision for the Fund easier and it saves money for the Fund."
