• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very clear. I said that the Kenyatta National Hospital has an x-ray screening unit model D15 which was acquired in 1992. However, a fluoroscopy machine is not used for detection and treatment of cancer. Therefore, there is no connection between the breakdown of the fluoroscopy machine acquired in 1992 and the cancer detection treatment which is done using different equipment. view
• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not misleading the House. I am very clear. I think the hon. Member was not listening to me when I was giving the answer. That machine is normally used for other purposes apart from detecting cancer illness. It is used mainly on radiological examination of the alimentary canal, general urinary systems and vascular systems. It is not used for detecting cancer. view
• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, two satellite oncology cancer clinics have been established, namely, one at the Coast and one at the Nyanza Provincial General Hospital. Both are functional. We are also in the process of training eight medical doctors and other technical staff, namely, medical physical therapy technologists. This will increase the number of specialized oncology personnel, who then will be seconded to other peripheral cancer centres countrywide. view
• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, these are old models whose spare parts are not available locally anymore. However, the new machine that we have purchased, which is working right now, is serviceable and is on a five-year contract. view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of that. However, if the hon. Member is telling us the truth, we are going to investigate that matter and drastic measures will be taken against those people engaging in that practice. view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, all district hospitals as I said earlier have been stocked with drugs by the Ministry through Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA). I have a list of the dispatch from KEMSA. I can table the list. In fact, Siaya District Hospital is among the hospitals which have been stocked. view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to assure this House that there is enough capacity at KEMSA. In fact, KEMSA is one of the best performing parastatals in my Ministry. We have put systems in place and if we want to know how many panadols they have today and how long they will last, we will know. view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is not true. We have been labeling all our drugs from capsules to panadols. So, if there is medicine that has not been labeled, then those are not our drugs. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg the indulgence of the Chair because this Question touches on three departments in my Ministry. This morning, I was with the officers concerned and they told me that they need a few more days to get all the information. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not want to come here with a half baked answer and I am very thorough when it comes to answering Questions. view
