• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Ting' Wang'i Health Centre is also near Bondo District. As such, some patients from Bondo District, near the boundary, seek health care at Ting' Wang'i. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: (b) My Ministry is liaising with the Ministry of Medical Services to review possibilities of upgrading the two health centres into sub-district hospitals, based on the needs and available resources. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to inform the hon. Member that Rwambwa Health Centre was one of the three deserving health centres that were recommended for upgrading to sub-district hospitals. Since Ting' Wangi health centre nearer to Siaya District Hospital, which is only seven kilometres away, it was felt that some other two health centres, that is, Akala and Ukwala were more deserving for upgrading based on work-load, distance to the nearest Government of Kenya (GOK) hospital and administrative division. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: However, Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me assure the hon. Member that we have an ambitious kind of plan to get every sub-district hospital and health centre an ambulance. So, he should not worry. When funds are available, we shall give every health centre an ambulance. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the criteria is quite simple; we take into consideration the work load of the facility, the distance from the nearest GOK hospital and of course, the administrative division where it falls. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, so, maybe the hon. Member for Lari is probably near another major hospital of the Government. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a question that belongs to the Ministry of Medical Services. Sub-district, district, provincial and national hospitals belong to the Ministry of Medical Services. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, again we will liaise with the Ministry of Medical Services to Ja nuary 21, 2009 PARLIAMENTAR Y DEBATES view
• 16 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply as follows. (a) The male and female patients cannot share a ward as indicated by the hon. Member for Makueni. Kitise Health Centre has two wards. The male patients use one ward which is smaller while the female patients and children use the bigger one which is enough for the two groups to share. (b) The big ward will be sub-divided to create a third one and my Ministry has instructed the District Medical Officer of Health, Makueni District, to forward the cost estimate for this sub- division. view
• 9 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that male and female patients share a ward at Kitise Health Centre, but I am aware that the male and female wards are partitioned. It is one block that has been partitioned to separate males from females. (b) My Ministry is in the process of sourcing for funds from the Treasury to put up an additional ward facility at Kitise Health Centre. view
