    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to promoting human capital development, access to healthcare services remains one of the key objectives of this Government. We shall continue to pursue health reforms to ensure effective healthcare delivery, especially at the local level to promote a healthy and productive population. The main focus of healthcare reform going forward is to restructure the health delivery system by shifting emphasis from curative to preventative health care. In this regard, the Government has allocated a total of Kshs64 billion for health service delivery plan. From this allocation, Kshs903 million will be earmarked for the purchase of ARVs, thus making these essential drugs available to our brothers and sisters suffering from HIV/AIDS,and Kshs150 million will be for the purchase of modern equipment for screening cervical and breast cancer. I have also allocated from this amount, Kshs534 million towards finalization of rehabilitation of health facilities initiated under the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP), while Kshs6.6 billion will be channeled towards enhanced immunization coverage throughout the country. We will also continue to support expansion of voluntary health insurance services in order to ensure that more Kenyans access health services."
