    "content": "father and a brother for a kidney transplant. Whereas that is a very good statement to advancement in medical care at MTRH, it is a bad statement on the state of health care in my county. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that there are a lot of cases related to kidney in this country. At Ziwa Sub-County Hospital in Uasin Gishu County, we found patients queuing to see doctors in shifts. Yes, the Government has done good to supply a number of dialysis machines. However, I would highly recommend that all public health facilities, including dispensaries, if possible, be equipped with dialysis machines to take care of the many patients who need dialysis. The function of the kidney is to remove waste products from the system. Our bad eating habits contribute to kidneys being overworked. I was surprised to find that small children at the age of six to nine years are undergoing dialysis. There is need for the Government to pump in more money to equip hospitals, dispensaries and others health centres with dialysis machines across the country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, I thank the Chairperson of the Committee on Health for bringing this Statement on kidney dialysis."
