I come from a county where health facilities exist but with an acute shortage of clinical officers, nurses and medicine. Our people walk into a clinic and they are told to go to a chemist to buy medicine. Therefore, that is a daily expense just like food.

I would like to request the Government to employ the human resource that is needed in our health facilities. The Government should not only do that, but also provide medicine in those health centres. I have realized again that some of the health centres which were constructed a long time ago are not upgraded according to the population that they serve.

As we start the free nursing unit for the aged in every hospital in all the counties, we also have to look at the facilities in those hospitals.

We also need to look at the fund for the elderly which has been made a pilot fund for a very long time. In the county where I come from, very few people get money from this fund. I think it is high time that this fund was made accessible to all the elderly in Kenya. Apart from giving the elderly this money, we should also equip our hospitals and provide them with free medical care.
