To emphasise for the benefit of the House, most health centres and dispensaries do not have a medical doctor. Most of them rely on clinical officers. So, these are primary healthcare providers that we have at lowest level of dispensaries. Therefore, I call upon the relevant Committee to expeditiously deal with this matter, so that we avoid many Kenyans suffering from not getting the basic healthcare from dispensaries to Level IV hospitals."}
