    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kenya is one of the 57 countries globally, and 36 in sub-Saharan African, with critical shortage of health workers. For every 1,500 citizens in this country, there are only 2.5 clinical officers and 2.5 nurses. This is a dire situation in respect of which this House must take serious action to ensure that it is addressed. Records show that Kenya has 1.12 nurses per 1,000 people and 0.85 active nurses for every 1,000 people. That means for every 1,000 people, there is no nurse because 0.85 nurses is not a nurse. So, looking at these statistics, it means that we immediately need 55,000 clinical officers, 45,000 nurses and 30,000 laboratory technicians to be able to barely make our people survive as far as provision of health services is concerned."
