    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we know that Kenya has produced some of the best doctors. However, after their studies and work experience, they end up going to foreign countries to work there. This brain drain can only be stopped if we compensate them appropriately. That cannot happen so long as we do not have the right technology that will ensure our people get the right services. As I wind up so that I can give my colleagues a chance to also contribute, It is important to note that the success of devolution cannot be ascertained, fulfilled or met unless we ensure that services delivery in health are efficient. We can leverage this from lessons learnt and we do not need to rediscover the wheel. We know that most of the western countries, especially India have specialized in medical tourism. We can make Kenya a medical destination by ensuring that we have the right technologies. This can be leveraged by using AI. I would like to commend Kenyatta University Teaching and Referral Hospital (KUTRH) because in a short span of time we have seen them employ technologies that have reduced the number of Kenyans seeking treatment abroad. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we need to bridge the gap for the people who are going there at stage three and four of cancer. We should ensure we get early discoveries through getting information from family trees and putting technologies in place to ensure testing is done at the appropriate time to arrest cases that would otherwise be fatal. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is it the duty of every Senator to support this because health being a devolved function will ensure we give better services to all people. That being the case it will also save a lot of money which we are paying to foreign hospitals by taking our patients. We will also ensure that the country earns more resources by having the neighbouring countries enjoy our health services, which apply the appropriate technology which is the AI. I support."
