Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health regarding the recent outbreak of Mpox in East and Central Africa. The Ministry of Health recently confirmed the country's first Mpox case, an infectious disease commonly known as Monkey Pox. While traditionally endemic to certain regions in Africa, its recent spread has raised significant concerns. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."},{"id":1464877,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1464877/?format=json","text_counter":305,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Embu County, UDA","speaker_title":"Hon. Pamela Njeru","speaker":null,"content":"Alarmingly, the Democratic Republic of Congo has reported nearly thousands of infections and even deaths related to Mpox in the recent past. However, there has not been ample response by the Ministry to that potential health crisis. Given the serious nature of that health threat, it is imperative that we discuss the situation urgently. It is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health on the following: 1. A report on the Mpox case detected in Kenya, including when it was identified and how many more cases have since been detected. 2. The specific measures being implemented on detection and plans to prevent the spread of Mpox. 3. Reports on assessment of the nation's preparedness to handle a potential Mpox outbreak, including current state of our health care facilities, availability of medical supplies, including vaccines and health care workers. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."},{"id":1464878,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1464878/?format=json","text_counter":306,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"The Temporary Speaker","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"(Hon.
