Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Health the following Question: (i) What is the Government’s policy regarding detention of patients and bodies of patients by hospitals over unpaid hospital bills? (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain why Reale Hospital in Eldoret continues to hold the body of the late Julius Nyerere Odera who had been hospitalised at the said facility until 1st June, 2021when he passed on, leaving a hospital bill of Kshs.4 million, of which his widow, friends and relatives paid Kshs.1.6 million? (iii) Could the Cabinet Secretary compel Reale Hospital to release the body of the deceased, considering that the family has continued to incur a charge of Kshs1,000 per day being mortuary charges? Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
