140. Other notable legislative measures that give effect to the right to health include the Public Health Act Cap 242 which governs the Ministry of Health operations with the aim of ensuring efficient health services to the citizens of Kenya. The HIV and AIDS Prevention and Control Act Cap 246 A provides the legal framework that for the prevention, management and control of HIV and AIDS. The Cancer Prevention and Control Act Cap 246 B has also been enacted. This is particularly important because cancer has become a major killer in Kenya and only one public hospital, Kenyatta National Hospital, offers cancer treatment. The new law commits to ‘promote access to quality and affordable diagnostic and treatment services for persons with cancer’. Resources to back this up are a priority in the Medium Term Plan (MTP) currently in place. 141. For persons with disabilities, Section 20 of the Persons with Disabilities Act Cap 133 mandates the National Council for Persons with Disabilities to monitor the provision of health care to persons with disabilities so as to ensure that the services are devoid of any form of discrimination. It also is supposed to ensure that the programmes of the Ministry of Health are geared towards prevention of disability; early identification of disability; early rehabilitation of persons with disabilities; enabling persons with disabilities to receive affordable rehabilitation and medical services in public and privately owned health institutions; availing essential health services to persons with disabilities at an affordable cost; and availing field medical personnel to local health institutions for the benefit of persons with disabilities. The Government’s commitment to the health of persons with disabilities is also reiterated in several policies including the National Reproductive Health Policy, 2008 which recognizes specific needs of women with disabilities right to access reproductive health services. It has identified the need to improve the sexual and reproductive health of youth with disabilities. 142.
