Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to support the amendment. I begin by congratulating Hon. Mishra for coming up with it. It is coming at a time when we, as Kenyans and the Government, must re-look at the health sector especially because of the pandemic that we are currently experiencing. This amendment is going to help Kenyans in many ways. I believe almost every village in this country has experience the issue of raising funds to take patients outside the country. In some instances, I have seen a patient who has gone all the way to India and came back more sick because he was misdiagnosed. I believe by this amendment we will have a way of regulating who goes out of the country for treatment or rather the manner in which people go out of the country. So, I support this amendment The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."}
