    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that insulin is a life-saving drug for diabetics, particularly Type I Diabetics, that is, the juvenile diabetics. It is also useful in the treatment of the Type II Diabetics, that is, the mature onset diabetes. However, I have already indicated that the Government has subsidized the procurement of insulin to an extent that one tube of insulin costs Kshs200 in Government hospitals whereas in the private sector, the same costs Kshs1,800. However, we are saying that most of our people may be unable to afford the Kshs200. I have answered a few of these questions in this House. One of our main challenges in the health sector is health care financing. The amount of money allocated to us cannot enable us procure all the drugs that we need. The second challenge is the training of human resource. So, these are challenges that we shall continue surmounting as we go by."
