    "content": "I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Health on the crisis of unemployed Kenyan doctors and the influx of Cuban doctors in Kenya’s healthcare system In the Statement, the Committee should – (1) State measures if any, to address the issue of unemployment among Kenyan doctors, giving reasons for the significant number of unemployed doctors despite the increasing demand for healthcare services; (2) Apprise the Senate on plans to ensure that Cuban doctors are working in areas where there is a genuine shortage of specialised medical personnel and not displacing unemployed Kenyan doctors; (3) State efforts in ensuring that Kenyan doctors are provided with the necessary resources and support to improve their skills and remain competitive in the job market; (4) State measures, if any, by the Ministry of Health, to provide opportunities for young doctors to gain the practical experience necessary to be competitive in the job market; and, (5) State strategic interventions made by the Government to ensure Kenya’s healthcare system is sustainable and self-sufficient without doctors from other countries. I thank you."
