    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is perfectly right. It is a shame that we should be sending our cancer patients to Mulago Hospital in Kampala, Uganda, for treatment. The fact of the matter is that this machine broke down; it is non-functional. I have been November 25, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3517 to both the New Nyanza General Hospital, in Kisumu, and the Kenyatta National Hospital. We have to take urgent measures, not only to restore the machine at Kenyatta National Hospital, but to ensure that we have a competent and adequate cancer programme in our hospitals. We are even going further now. We are proposing to the Cabinet to establish a medical centre in Nairobi with advanced equipment in key areas of medical services, so that our patients do not have to go abroad either for cancer treatment or other specialised treatments like hipbone replacement. All being well, we should, in the near future, be in a position to respond to urgent advanced medical treatment in this country rather than depend on facilities abroad."
