    "content": "It is time we tried to push the NHIF to cater for chronic diseases. Most of our women, men, children and orphans go through treatments of chronic diseases. We need NHIF to take care of chronic medical conditions. We have to request the Government to look into this aspect. There is no need of pushing for some of these things yet we cannot help. We have to relook at how we treat our people. The NHIF must come in to support even those going for treatment outside the country. I know it supports some but all the time patients have to go to NHIF offices to request for approvals. During this back and forth process, we lose patients. I request that we relook at this process before we bring this Bill back to the House. Let us look at the best way of handling such situations, bearing in mind the suffering Kenyans have endured with regard to referrals within our country. With those few remarks, I urge the promoter of this Bill to look at it and do more research before bringing it back to the House."
