    "content": "There is another thing which I want to highlight in that Report. We looked at the human resource for health. Indeed, it is below the World Health Organisation (WHO) standards. That also anchors on the funding of that institution. When people are understaffed, they get fatigued. That can compromise your delivery system. So, human resource is big issue at KNH. We also looked at their referral system. Everybody goes there because other peripheral systems have failed. I commend what the counties are trying to do. On that line, allow me to say kudos to my governor, Mr. Cyprian Awiti, who is putting up a new hospital so that many patients can have their referral at the county system. The counties need to be helped to have their own referral system. That will cut down on the cases that are flocking in KNH. In primary healthcare most of the procedures or cases, other than accidents which are handled in KNH, come from the grassroots. They are either misdiagnosis of cases, wrong treatment or management of cases. We should empower Level 1 which is the household, Level 2 which is a dispensary and Level 3 which is a health centre. If we can empower those three tiers to manage cases well, then we can reduce complications that arise from them and some end up in KNH."
