    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am ready to install the machines as soon as possible, provided the funds are available. One of the problems we have in the Ministry of Medical Services is that even in this budget as I will present it today, our resources have been cut substantially by the Treasury. Of course, we also rely on the NHIF to help us buy the machines and wherever the Fund can manage, they do in fact help us. Of the eight dialysis machines installed at Coast and Nakuru provincial general hospitals, assistance was received from the NHIF. The two machines at the New Nyanza General Hospital were received through assistance from the Government of Taiwan. We have donors prepared to work with us to buy machines, provided we can train the nurses to use the machines because it is not a question of installing them. So, the constraint to us is resources. If we could find ideas from Members of Parliament of the extent to which we can access resources, it is my aim and belief that we can equip not just provincial Government hospitals with dialysis machines but also district hospitals. Indeed, the construction of both Othaya District Hospital and the new district hospital in Kayole presupposes a renal unit. They are only making conditions or same work for renal units and it presupposes that we shall equip them with dialysis machines."
