    "content": "topical concern, namely; the death of Ms. Annette Kabarika at Vihiga County Referral Hospital on Monday, 16th September, 2019, as a result of medical negligence. Before I proceed further, I take this opportunity to pass condolences on my own behalf, on behalf of my family and the people of Vihiga County who I represent in this House, to the family of Ms. Annette Kabarika. Ms. Annette was a young lively 22 years old lady from Gimaragwa Village, Hamisi Sub-County, Vihiga County. I have watched painfully the video of the young lady writhing in pain on the floor of a private hospital, pleading to be taken to a Government hospital where she believed she would have gotten better service. I have also watched the mother on a national television channel describing how she spent 30 agonizing hours with her daughter in Vihiga County Referral Hospital, waiting for medics to attend to her until she passed on. The treatment the lady got from the two hospitals highlight how inhuman our healthcare providers have become. Article 43(1)(a) of the Constitution clearly stipulates that: “Every person has the right– (a) to the highest attainable standard of health, which includes the right to health care services, including reproductive health care.” Further, Article 43(2) states that: “A person shall not be denied emergency medical treatment.”"
