• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: We are talking about possibly a period of two decades. Once we have conceptive agent at a very early age, which is about 11 or 12 years old, then the changes take place very slowly. There comes a time when we can pick those changes through screening, for example, what has now been known as pre-cancerous conditions or Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN). If we pick up the condition at that stage, it can be treated 100 per cent and we have 100 per cent cure rate. Once it gets to the stage where it now becomes frank cancer where you ... view

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: I agree and support this Motion. For us to implement this Motion properly, we must re- think strongly whether what we are having now in the country in terms of medical care or healthcare is adequate for our people or not. I am of the view that it was premature and we did not think through it very well. If we will have a referendum in this country, we need to seriously think about reverting the health function back to the national Government. Massive screening is only possible when it is being coordinated from one centre - that is the ... view

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: The universal healthcare the President has talked about, in my view, will only be possible if health is handled from one centre. That is because the priorities of the counties are totally different. They may ask to be allocated more financial resources. That is the argument of the governors and their committee executive members. But the problem is that, once we allocate them the resources, their priorities in terms of where to apply those resources gets completely lost. Most counties have become like employment bureaus. They employ more people and spend a lot of money to pay salaries as opposed ... view

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: is handled from one centre - the Ministry of Health - which should co-ordinate the screening so that it is done in every corner of this country. If we decide to give HPV to the seven or eight-year olds, it can only happen when co-ordination is from one centre so that all boys and girls get it. But if, for example, Mombasa County does it but Vihiga County does not, and our people move, we will completely lose the essence of the screening. view

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: If we have the referendum, time has come to revert the health function to the national Government and let counties deal with other functions. In any case, most of them cannot even handle some of the other functions. view
