    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the hon. Member and the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Health for the very genuine concern he has shown on this issue. I share his concern that we should act urgently to provide treatment for cancer patients. It is really sad that somebody suffering from cancer should wait for 30 days to receive attention from Government hospitals. One of the things we were hoping was for the National Social Health Insurance proposal we have made to be put in place so that those who are insured can get treatment from facilities available, for example, at the MP Shah Hospital. This hospital has a modern cancer facility, but the treatment of cancer is so expensive that individual Kenyans cannot afford it. However, if they are insured, they can get access to treatment in a hospital like MP Shah."
