    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to make a contribution on this important subject. Health is an important aspect of development in any Republic. Every year, the United Nations comes up with what we call Human Development Index, which is a ranking on how countries have progressed in several dimensions. United Nations look at three areas; namely, access of population education, life expectancy and the living standards of a country. Our Human Development Index Value for 2019 was 0.601. We were position 143 out of 189 countries that were evaluated. This means that we still lag behind several countries in terms of Human Development Index. Definitely, there is a correlation of that score to the health standards of any country. As the Senate, we need to do an audit and inquire as to whether, since the year 2010 when we enacted a new Constitution, our health sector went up or deteriorated. This has a direct correlation to the extent to which our society is ranked in terms of human development and life expectancy, because it is directly connected to the health sector."
