    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As other Members have said, these are very serious diseases. Autoimmune and connective tissue disorders are very rare, but with serious implications. In the Committee on Health, we are already dealing with a similar Petition. It is about multiple sclerosis, which is also a connective tissue disorder. These are very serious issues. The problem that we have is that this is a disability and the National Council of Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD) does not consider these patients as people who are disabled. In the first few years when they get the disease, it comes and goes, and so, they usually suffer for some time before they become disabled. By that time, it is usually very low. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are dealing with these issues and will handle this one as well. We have to deal with the NCPWD so that anybody who is diagnosed with any connective tissue disorder is given a disability card. This is so that NHIF can deal with it. I thank you."
