"content": "in KNH in this House like Hon. (Dr) Nyikal. Allow me to say it as it is. We have specialised doctors for children and women, but we do not have specialised doctors for elderly persons. It is called geriatric medicine. If you go to all the local institutions that train in medicine, you will not find one that offers geriatric medicine. When elderly persons are admitted in a ward, they are only allowed to go to a female ward or male ward. We do not have geriatric wards. We mix our 92-year-olds with, say, 26-year-olds in the same ward. We give them the same food and medical services. It is time for us to create geriatric wards and introduce geriatric medicine in our hospitals, so that we can dignify the health services given to our elderly persons. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I can speak forever about the elderly persons in this country because they are even exposed. Their land is being taken from them forcefully by their sons and daughters and the National Police Service does not have a way of protecting them."
