"content": "Most hospitals are rejecting patients because they feel that they should have been clearly informed that we are migrating. Are we migrating with unpaid debts? Are we migrating with the same problems under the former NHIF that we have not sorted? That is the problem. Let us not come here and read out numbers. I appreciate the numbers that have been read out by the Leader of the Majority Party and our Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health, Dr Robert Pukose. However, our people are not waiting for numbers. They are waiting to hear how they will be treated in hospitals tomorrow. When I went to one of the hospitals, I found a patient who had been withdrawn from the ward only to go and queue for dialysis at 6.00 a.m. I visited that hospital in Nairobi at 4.00 p.m. I found that patient waiting in the queue. He told me that the reason he had been waiting from 6.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. every day was because the SHA was supposed to send messages so that he could be on boarded for services, yet they were not being accepted."
