    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity. Thank you, Hon Mishra for donating two minutes to me. This is a very important Bill. This country has been referring patients to other countries and they end up not being cured because, maybe, their sicknesses were detected late and they are at advanced stages. So, as we pass this Bill, I would like us to equip both big and small hospitals so as to decongest the referral hospitals in this country. Referral hospitals should treat specialized cases but the other small facilities such as the Level 4 hospitals, clinics and dispensaries should prevent the sicknesses before they advance. Therefore, we need to look at this. It is very expensive to transport people abroad and it is equally expensive to bring the bodies here when they die there. Our culture dictates that we bury our people at home. We do not bury our people the way Muslims do. Our Christian culture is such that we transport the bodies to their ancestral homes. So, it is very expensive."
