"content": "country. Coming from the same profession, I want to confirm to this House that the way devolution of health care happened was wrong. I want to pick up from the last Committee Report we did about devolution of health care. We were very clear. I know that Report is in the archives of this House. We clearly said that devolution of health system should not have been done the way it was done last time. But we know exactly what happened when the governors went and arm-twisted the administration of the day to ensure that health care was devolved with a bang to them. Those are the results. We must sort those problems as a House without looking at where one comes from. That is why I want to plead with Members that, even if we put an angel at KNH and the systems are still wrong, that angel will remain in KNH. KNH requires a clear systematic approach from the grassroots. Today, KNH has become a village hospital. When your girlfriend stabs you in a fight or when you get an accident which does not require you go to KNH, you go to KNH. When we experienced systemic failure of maternity services in this country, especially at Pumwani Hospital, KNH was turned into a maternity hospital. We forgot the actual agenda of the hospital."
