I rise pursuant to Standing Order 45(2)(b) to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Health on the deteriorating medical standards with specific reference to quack doctors and medics. In the Statement, the Chairperson should:- 1. Enumerate the statistical figures of registered genuine medical practitioners and quack doctors and medics in Kenya. 2. Explain the action that is taken on quack doctors and medics who are netted in the swoops by the Ministry of Health. 3. Enumerate the number of cases of quack doctors and medics before the courts of law and state the outcome of cases before the courts of law that have been heard and determined in the last ten years. 4. Explain what Kenyans should look out for in authenticating credentials of doctors and medics in both private and public hospitals and the steps that the national Government is taking to educate Kenyans on how to distinguish between genuine legally registered and quack doctors and medics. 5. Explain the steps that the Government has taken, if any, to enforce the medical policy that a male doctor should always be accompanied by a female colleague when attending to a female patient. 6. Explain the measures that the Government takes to continuously regulate and harmonise the curriculum used in private medical colleges.
