    "content": "There is the issue of strategic health commodities. There are some strategic health commodities if left to the counties alone, they might not be able to purchase them. That is because when you purchase in bulk, you get discounts. There are some vaccines that need specialized care; that is the cold chain treatment right from purchasing to delivery. Those functions are beyond the abilities of the county governments. Indeed, up to now, the county governments have agreed that vaccines are usually handled by the national Government through the Extended Programme for Immunization. Indeed, there are some functions which we cannot just say: “Let us run them.” Take other functions like the HIV/AIDS. The care of HIV/AIDS is mainly by the national Government through donor- support. Again, that cannot be devolved. So, there are some strategic health interventions that just have to remain with the national Government, and that is where KEMSA comes in."
