• 23 May 2024 in Senate: What we are trying to do is to amend Section 2 to ensure that when you are somewhere in Garissa County Referral Hospital, you can engage your doctor in Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) or Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) or even outside the country. It also says: “Promote the use of e-health and telemedicine for the prevention and management of persons with cancer and promote treatment of persons with cancer as a component of primary health care.” This is very simple. My opening remarks was that cancer continues to be the greatest killer in the country, but I am ... view

• 23 May 2024 in Senate: I wish Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale was here. I thank the head of Public Service, Felix Kosgei, Cabinet Minister, Mama Waziri Susan Nakhumicha and a retinue of Government officials, including the Cabinet Secretary in charge of labour, Florence Bore, for ensuring that the issue of the doctors' strike was amicably resolved. I challenge the same team because now the laboratory technicians and clinical officers are still on strike. I wish those issues could be addressed because we need human resources to run these hospitals at the end of the day. The moment human resource within the health sector is in dire ... view

• 23 May 2024 in Senate: We need to amend the law such that in future, if we encounter a challenge such as COVID pandemic, where there is lockdown, patients will not die or suffer. Remember at that time, there were no admissions in hospital. You would be told to take your patient home. Most of the patients suffering from cancer have a challenge of being taken home for palliative care. For somebody who is terminally ill, palliative care becomes the only option. So, imagine treating your patient at home or somewhere in my village called Kapkeben or in Mosoriot and you can do teleconferencing with ... view

• 23 May 2024 in Senate: symptoms and being able to interpret them. The World Health Organization (WHO) is encouraging countries to do this. I am happy that the President is in the USA. I am also happy because my brother Sen. Sifuna yesterday asked why part of the Government delegation was in the country. Without the prejudice of Standing Order No. 101, I would have wished he were here. However, in our culture, you leave the son or the daughter, you trust to care for the home. You do not go with them away. Yesterday, I also saw that AZIMIO issued a statement saying that ... view

• 23 May 2024 in Senate: I do not want to go through the notes that I had prepared. However, we can ensure that we prevent cancer in this country through diagnosis. I do not know whether colleagues here have noticed this; sometimes you go to see a doctor and they make a diagnosis and get the wrong thing. After some time, you are told that it has metamorphosed into something cancerous. So, with the introduction of telemedicine and AI services, it will be very easy to properly detect cancer. I am happy Kenyans are industrious. We have Mass Institute, Faculty of Information Technology of Strathmore ... view
