    "content": "As I second this, I would urge that perhaps, the Ministry of Health should send some people to look at how countries like Israel run their blood donor services and their ambulance service. That way, they will understand what is very key about blood transfusion that we should have a stand-alone Act of Parliament to run it. If we do not do that, with our health care slowly decaying, we will have a big problem. There are many things that we can say about this, but allow me to end by saying that I urge the House to pass this Bill urgently. Let us not delay any further. It is about two years since we went to the Coast General Hospital and the Kenyatta National Hospital to look at the blood donor services. When we were there, things were very bad. I wonder how they are now. They must be worse. I, therefore, urge the House that we pass this Bill urgently, so that we can start a proper blood transfusion service in this country and ensure that counties are brought on board, so that they can also contribute adequately, but with regulation set up by the blood transfusion service. I second."
