    "content": "The hospital, too, vide a press release on 28th May, 2025 by the Acting Chief Executive Officer, admitted that the linear accelerator machine, has failed and was out of service. In the Statement, the Committee should address the following- (1) The operational status of all radiotherapy machines and equipment at Kenyatta National Hospital, reasons for the frequent breakdowns, including whether they are due to lack of maintenance, obsolete technology, or budgetary constraints. (2) Strategies in place for repair, replacement or upgrade of non-functional machines, including the budgetary allocations toward radiotherapy services in the current financial year. (3) Whether there are plans to decentralize radiotherapy services to other public hospitals to ease the burden on KNH and enhance access to patients in underserved regions. (4) The contingency measures in place to ensure uninterrupted treatment for cancer patients during periods of equipment failure and long-term solutions to strengthen oncology infrastructure and service delivery across national and county referral hospitals. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the following is the second Statement."
