    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, a referral hospital in Mombasa is a matter that is long overdue but even as we look at matters health, we have to give a holistic approach. We need Level 5 hospitals in all our counties to ease the pressure that is put on Kenyatta National Hospital and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret. Again, I would also propose that we have referral hospitals in all our regions – the former provinces – so that our people can easily access healthcare. We have had our doctors incensed by the low pay but I think we also, as a Government, have to remunerate our doctors in a way that is pleasing to them so that we do not lose them as a result of brain drain to other nations. Universal medical healthcare, which is done by NHIF, should be stepped up but I would propose that even as we do so, let us increase the number of physicians sitting on the NHIF board. Finally, the money that is meant to be transferred to counties as money following functions should be 80 per cent as opposed to the 20 per cent."
