    "content": "(2) To provide a breakdown of the quantum of quality of the equipment in each of the counties and the date they were delivered to those counties and the cost thereof. I will table a list for this answer which includes the equipment quantities as listed on Table (1). Attached to the supplies are the original equipment manufacturers of the equipment, installation and commissioning certificates as issued by the respective hospital implementation committees for all installed equipments to confirm that they meet contract specifications. Table (2) shows counties that have received equipments, commissioning dates and hospitals benefiting from the project. I will table this after reading this answer. The MES tender was cumulative of supply, installation, testing and commissioning, training, fittings, works and maintenance of equipments for seven years. I will table the cost for each equipment. (3) To confirm the number of counties that have received the equipment; detailing the criteria used in distribution of the equipment. For the counties that have not received such equipments, what they are paying for and if such payment is in conformity with the procurement rules and procedures. The total number of hospitals equipped by the MES project is 98; that is Level Four and a Level Five hospital per county and four national referral hospitals. So far, 85 hospitals are fully equipped with the five equipment lots. All the 98 hospitals have received at least two equipments and I will table the document together with all the other annexes. All 98 beneficiaries of the MES project have received at least two equipment lots. In total, only 13 hospitals out of 98 hospitals have one equipment lot pending installation, hence not functioning. All payments are accepted upon material compliance by the contractor of their obligations in accordance with the contract implementation programme. The Ministry of Health verifies with the respective County Health Administration that value has been received before issuing the quarterly service payment to the contractors. (4) The working condition of the equipment and post-supply service contracts and the contractors involved to ensure that it is properly maintained. The contractors are responsible for ensuring that the equipment is capable of supporting the project operations and services. They are obligated to service, repair and maintain, including both preventive and curative maintenance of the equipment accordingly. Such service of repaired maintenance is at the contractor’s cost. Each contract has a condition for equipment uptime guarantee, and failure by a contractor to attain contractual uptime attracts service failure points. The five contractors involved in providing post supply services are:- (1) Midway Bio-Medical and Electronic Co. Ltd - Theatre Equipment. (2) Esteem Industries Inc. - Sterilization equipment and surgical Sets. (3) Bellco SRL - Renal Equipment. (4) Philips Medical Systems Nederland B.V - ICU Equipment (5) General Electric E.A Services Ltd - Imaging and X-ray Equipment. I will also table a summary of the working condition of installed equipment. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
