Question

The Member for Sirisia (Hon. John Waluke, MP) to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Health: - Considering that claims made to the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) for renal dialysis are in excess of Kshs. 8 billion annually, could the Cabinet Secretary urgently consider reviewing the NHIF cover to include funding for kidney transplants and purchase of anti- rejection drugs, which enable patients suffering from acute kidney failures to return to living normal lives as well as cutting down on the huge claims for dialysis?
