(Dr) James Nyikal","speaker":null,"content":"Please, wait for the next statement to see if I am negative or not. I rise to support this Bill to be read a Third Time. As Hon. Pukose has said, I had a similar Bill and this one is doing the same thing that I was proposing. We agreed to go with this particular Bill. As we pass it, I would like to make one comment for the whole country. We have been diverted because of the emergency on cancer and we are going for very high-end treatment of cancer. We have just visited Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral and Research Hospital, which has top-level machines that cost so much and yet, we would get the same returns if we went for primary care. I am talking of things like the annual cervical examination for ladies and breast examination to detect those things early and treat them at Level 4 hospitals. If we do not go in that direction, we will spend more money and we will be at the end of a river picking people who are dying from cancer while we would have detected those types of cancer earlier and treated them at a lesser cost."}
