    "content": "Beyond that, the structure is such that there shall be a certified medical practitioner operating within a given area and region. They will then have the overall responsibility of checking all the elements adding up to health are catered for and properly looked at and taken care of without much damage to our society. That is the comforting thought. He then becomes a primary agent and takes over the primary responsibilities of ensuring that health index is transferred to the very remote level. Madam Temporary Speaker, apart from the medical practitioner or the general doctor who has overall general interest in medicine and public health, there will also be an additional public health officer who will assist him or her in identifying some of these bacons of health dividends that can be tapped from a community. The community can then take care of those health dividends themselves and promote health at that level. Promote health, prevent diseases: Of course, for those that go to a higher level, that is why we have a referral system. They should also be able to pick and quickly channel them to referral centres for higher medical attention. Under the objectives, it is not only the professionals who will participate in this committee. Communities have also been given an opportunity to elect a health worker and be involved in health related work in the community that the person lives in. Therefore, the person who lives in that community can give us firsthand information on what should happen. He or she can then pass it on to other health workers who are relatively more skilled than him or her to attend to emergencies that may arise from time to time."
