    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we should have early detection of cancer cases because the treatment gets expensive and complicated with time. We should have advanced machines to deal with cancer cases in our referral hospitals. Diagnosis can take place in low level facilities. That is one reason we are upgrading the provincial hospitals to referral facilities. We are upgrading equipment in health centres and sub-district hospitals throughout the country. In the near future, we shall have ultrasound machines in health centres, so that diagnostic services can be received at these facilities. We want to be responding to cancer cases much earlier in the spirit of making medical services accessible to our people. I share the concerns of hon. Wamalwa. However, I have to be honest with him; that not all cancer machines can be available at the low level medical facilities. We can have diagnostic services that can prevent cancer cases from advancing, detected in those facilities. I agree with him that this requires much more complicated equipment than we have at the moment. I am prepared to respond to his concerns. I want to assure him that once we upgrade provincial hospitals to referral hospitals, other things will follow mutatismutandis."
