    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that question is very important. We have been working on a national ambulance service. In the past, the problem that the Ministry has had was to have ambulances situated in this or that health centre or district. That system is very inefficient. In fact, yesterday, I launched a programme with the Kenya Red Cross which is called the Red Cross Emergency Medical Service. We are going to have a modern ambulance system, where people will be able to call to a particular number to get an ambulance. This ambulance will be stationed strategically at certain places where people can have access to them. Nonetheless, given that the Northern part of Kenya has very vast districts, we will make an effort to ensure that these ambulances are placed strategically in health facilities, so that they can be used when needed. The issue of maternal health care falls under the Ministry of Public Health because a lot of maternal health care problems are dealt with at the dispensary and health centre level. Of course, there cannot be very clear demarcation. However, I would assure the Member that mobile clinics are being availed in northern Kenya with the help of Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA) to take care of maternal and child care."
