    "content": "A healthy nation is a working nation. My brother, Hon. Dawood, has talked about having ICU and blood transfusion units in every constituency. Our population is approaching the 44 million mark. Having only referral hospitals equipped with ICU facilities is alarming. With 44 million people in Kenya, we should expect more patients because of unavoidable circumstances. Therefore, we need to add ICU facilities in order to serve our people more effectively. We now have 47 counties. I neighbour Kisii County which has five beds, as my brother said, for blood transfusion. That means the hospital does not have ICU beds. People in Nyamira go to Kisii Hospital. The relatives of patients who happen to require blood have to entice people to donate blood. That is how people in Nyamira County can donate blood. This is the time we need to emphasize on patriotism in our country because we are brothers and sisters. If I have blood group A positive, it should be used to treat a patient with the same blood group anywhere in Kenya; be it in Mombasa or northern Kenya, because blood is not tribal and it is a necessity to all of us. We use it universally."
