• 1 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I acknowledge the question. Previously, the assessment was only at one level at the Ministry, but right now, the assessment has already been devolved. Therefore, each county has a multi- stakeholder team, multi-disciplinary that has been trained to do assessments for disability. I am informed that this has been happening now for the last two years and we continue to build the capacity of those multidisciplinary teams at the county level to be able to do assessments. Equally, we have assessments being carried out at all the Level 6 facilities, which are six in the country. So, ... view

• 1 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate Sen. Methu for bringing out the issue on Dyslexia as one of the disabilities that exists. As a Ministry, we follow the World Health Organization (WHO) calendar of celebrations of specific days within the health sector. Dyslexia is yet to be put in the WHO calendar of days to be celebrated. However, we continue to provide and create awareness in the day-to-day activities. We would like to take a whole of health approach such that we are not highlighting just one of the disabilities and celebrating or creating awareness around it, but rather looking at ... view

• 1 Nov 2023 in Senate: As a Ministry, we are going to work with the 100,000 Community Health Promoters that we have trained. They should be able to identify these cases early, so that they are brought out and alternative ways are devised on which the children can be assisted to reach their full potential. view

• 1 Nov 2023 in Senate: Indeed, I acknowledge that women with disability require assisted delivery. As the Government, we have two programmes. One is Linda Mama, which takes care of all women in terms of delivery. It begins from them being able to attend clinics during and after delivery. This Financial Year, the Government put Kshs4.98 billion for support of Linda Mama. Two, we have Government health insurance subsidy for people living with severe disability that they are able to access health services. One of the Acts that was enacted is the Social Health Insurance Act. In that Act, we have developed a benefit package ... view

• 1 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the accolades from the Senator of Kwale County. It was a nice experience to be in Msambweni to launch the Cancer Awareness Day. I would like to highlight that the Community Health Promoters -Senator, we now call them promoters, not volunteers - do not have a contract. They are identified by their communities. After being identified by their communities, they are taken through training both by the county and at the national level. We have an agreement with the county governments that we are going to give them a stipend; we give 50 per cent, ... view
