    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.45(2)(b) to seek a statement from the Chairperson of the standing Committee on Health on the death of Ms. Maureen Tata and the deteriorating health standards in the country. In the statement, the Chairperson should explain the following:- (1) Whether the Government is aware that one Ms. Tata was hospitalized at St. Francis Community Hospital, Kasarani on 4th July, 2015 for a normal delivery, but ended up undergoing a cesarean section that led to internal hemorrhage. This caused her transfer to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) on 8th July, 2015 and she died on 8th July, 2015. (2) What necessitated the cesarean section operation? Who authorized it and whether the doctor who carried out the operation is qualified and licensed by the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board (KMPDB) to perform such operations? (3) Why the hospital gave Ms. Tata food immediately after the operation and whether that is allowed for patients who have undergone such an operation. (4) Why did the hospital not inform her family upon realizing that her situation was deteriorating and take quick action upon signs of internal hemorrhage being detected? (5) What action shall be taken against the doctor who attended to Ms. Tata at St. Francis Community Hospital in Kasarani and against the hospital for failing to uphold professional ethics while attending to the said patient? (6) What measures has the Government put in place to address deteriorating healthcare standards in the country?"
