    "content": "(Hon. (Dr.) Deborah Barasa): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first of all, NHIF did not cover ICU services. When we started implementation of SHA and the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) in October, ICU only covered Kshs4,600 per day. Currently, we have reviewed and now we will be covering Kshs28,000 per day. We want to assure you that a lot is ongoing in the review of the benefit package to ensure that we improve and it meets the needs of Kenyans. With regards to prevention, a lot has been done. We have guidelines for prevention and management of Kala-azar. We have advocacy and utilising the Community Health Promoters (CHPs). Knowing that health is devolved, we are working with county governments to ensure implementation of preventive strategies such as vector control among others. Thank you."
