    "content": "In fact, this was part of the original Nationalist Promise before we re-imagined it under our Vision 2030. That is why I am of the firm belief that Kenya must make transformative investments in health and education. The proper healthcare of every Kenyan remains a core priority of this administration. Towards this end, we have continued to invest heavily in healthcare. To date, the free maternity programme has doubled the number of Kenyans who have access to affordable maternal healthcare from 600,000 in 2013 to1.2 million in 2016. Mothers across the country have benefitted greatly from this intervention. We are aware that there is still work to be done in this area and I want to assure the nation that we will remain engaged in the pursuit of better maternal healthcare for all women across Kenya. All of us know the cost of treating major chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, kidney failure, just to mention but a few. These diseases have bankrupted many a family. Many of us have had to endure requests for contributions towards medical costs. That is why my administration initiated the Managed Equipment Services Scheme so that Kenyans can find the care that they need at the prices they can afford and in places accessible to them. Our people will no longer have to travel to Nairobi or abroad for that matter to find the specialist medical treatment that they need. The goal and objective of this programme is quite simple. We are equipping two hospitals, One Level Four and one Level Five in each county with state of the art equipment. The intention is to have Level Four and Level Five hospitals in every county. We want this by function and not by name."
