Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health regarding transfer of an X-Ray machine from Nyeri General Hospital to Mathari Mission Hospital. Hon. Speaker, public health facilities are meant to serve members of the public. However, patients who visit Nyeri General Hospital are not accessing sufficient X-Ray services following the transfer of the said machine to Mathari Mission Hospital, which is a private facility. In the Statement, the Chairperson should inquire into and report on the following:- (i) the terms under which the machine was given to Mathari Mission Hospital; (ii) measures that the Government has put in place to ensure that patients from Nyeri General Hospital continue accessing X-Ray services, and explain how patients to Mathari Mission Hospital benefit from it; and (iii) the policy guiding Government donation of equipment to private hospitals, considering the fact that, numerous public health facilities are in dire need of such equipment."
