    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, as for the dialysis, it is a very sympathetic situation because you are talking about a kidney failure and most of the times probably the victims usually come to realise very late. On the expense that comes with it, I did a bit of research and discovered that right now as we sit here that dialysis at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) when you have a National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) card costs an average of Kshsd3,000 but you can only get dialysis once in a week even if the situation demands that you get it three or four times. That means that the rest of the period you have to survive and even for you to be able to get an appointment at KNH, you have to report there at 3.00 a.m. in the night for you to be seen at 7.00 p.m. that same day in the evening which is a very pathetic situation. It makes it worse because in the private hospitals that are providing this facility, there is a big disparity between what KNH is charging and what the private hospitals are charging because they charge between Kshs8,000 and Kshs9,000 per dialysis. If you have to go for that thrice a week, that is around Kshs20,000 for a one-off dialysis for the week."
