"content": "National referral hospitals are the face of the country in the health sector. Whenever foreigners visit our country they look at the kind of hospitals we have and take the message back to their country. Sometimes we receive visitors and they go to a referral hospital thinking they will receive good medical attention. When they go back to their countries they just laugh at us. We want to ensure that our referral hospitals are well equipped. There are very important features which make us to refer to a hospital as national hospital. First, we must have infrastructure that is modern to meet the needs of the people. Second, is the personnel. Some of our national referral hospitals have very few professional personnel and experts because they are not employed according to the number of patients who visit the facilities. Thirdly, is about technology. The world now is modernised so our referral hospitals should embrace technology to enable them to treat various diseases that cause patients to seek medical services outside the country. For example, disease like cancer, brain surgery and others are causing people to seek medical services outside Kenya."
