For example, I am best advised by those in the medical field that instead of getting a bed when you only have a little injury, it is better for the treatment to be done at home or in a hotel because in the process of being hospitalized you can get worse and acquire new diseases from the hospital. Homecare is being encouraged rather than being in a ward. Yes, we want to establish these facilities, but we must be careful. In addition to that, can we start thinking in a more revolutionary and modern way in terms of our medical care? Finally, as you rightly said during your contribution, we are losing doctors and nurses to other parts of the world. I am of the view that those nations that are benefitting extensively from our nurses whom we have trained as a Government or at Kenya’s cost, for example, the UK and elsewhere, should compensate Kenya for these people. It is not enough to say that those people are being paid higher salaries. No matter what salaries they are being paid, it is Kenyans who are being denied that treatment for people in England to benefit. At some point, I recall that there was a proposal for a legislation to know how many of our nurses are in each of those countries. Those countries should be required to compensate Kenya so that Kenya can continue to train new nurses while those people are there. You cannot stop people from going unless you pay them appropriately. Therefore, those countries should compensate Kenya, particularly, Britain where most of our nurses are. I support with amendments."
