"content": "Listening to the testimony of the family, you would feel touched. You would feel that something was missing and that something ought to be done urgently. The family talked about the painful experience that they went through in taking care of my old friend during treatment. They talked about the travels they had to make from Kisii to Nairobi in search of facilities such as chemotherapy; the long hours that they had to endure in Nairobi waiting to receive services and how the family had been financially exhausted and left desperate and despondent. Cancer is among the emerging diseases and there is need to have a mechanism to detect it in the early stages in order to save lives. They are talking about the conditions at KNH. Some of us have been there and we know the conditions need to be improved. However, those facilities do not need to be just at KNH. We need to spread them around to the former provincial hospitals or Level 5 hospitals so that these facilities are available in those areas. Certainly, I agree with Sen. Murungi that we need to identify more funding to deal with this menace of cancer."
