    "content": "Hon. Sabina Chege has read the guidelines for charging. They were initially signed by Hon. Dr. Nyikal and then other Directors of Medical Services. For example, it is very unfortunate when a caesarean section operation is charged between Kshs90,000 and Kshs180, 000. This is a very critical service to our Kenyan women. It is a service that will reduce mother mortality in this country. I want to give an example. In most cases when you are doing a caesarean section operation, it is not a must for it to be done under the general anaesthesia. You can give epidural or spinal anaesthesia which is very cheap. Those drugs that you are going to use will not be more than Kshs5,000. Why would you charge Kshs90,000 to Kshs200,000? It is high time for our medical practitioners in this country to have a serious debate on the issue of affordable healthcare for our public. We owe this to Kenyans."
