    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) X-ray equipment, Haemoglobinometer and Biochemistry machines are available in Lodwar District Hospital. However, the hospital is occasionally unable to render services with those machines owing to breakdowns, lack of accessories or stock- out of consumables. Such interruptions may take time to address because service companies and suppliers of accessories and consumables are located far away either in Nairobi or Eldoret. (b) It is true that Lodwar District Hospital is a referral hospital for six districts in the North Rift. It has been identified to serve that role because it is relatively more developed compared to the outlying facilities. To enhance its capacity to serve that purpose, the Ministry plans to progressively rehabilitate and upgrade infrastructure in the hospital in the coming years. That will be matched by progressive deployment of specialists in various fields of medicine, depending on the output of our training institutions."
