    "content": "There was also reported an upward review of hospital service prices and this had a negative effect on clients. Most patients found it difficult to access the services because they could not afford the bed charges, which had increased from Kshs200 to Kshs500. The X-ray services increased from Kshs5,000 to Kshs10,000, just to mention but a few. These increases were partially attributed to the fact that the hospital was treating the cash patients at the same rates with the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) patients, whose costs were generally higher than for the cash patients. Mr. Speaker, Sir, bearing in mind that the hospital had inadequate drugs in the hospital pharmacy, it meant therefore that most patients, after treatment, were referred to buy drugs in private chemists. This, therefore, increased further the cost of treatment in Kakamega."
