"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also wanted to ask the Cabinet Secretary a question. Is she aware that hearing equipment is not covered by the NHIF? Most of them are very expensive due to taxes. Institutions are also turning away many deaf learners. Maybe she could tell us if there are any interpreters at the Kenya Medical Training Colleges and whether some surgeries for the deaf are oftentimes considered cosmetic. The NHIF does not cover. The challenge here comes down to the NHIF cover. It is not just for persons with disabilities, but the country at large. We cannot stand here as Members and cabinet secretaries to say that the public enjoys the same cover that we do. That is the biggest challenge because most of these patients are turned away from many hospitals."
