"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is a very important Statement that has been brought by Sen. Kasanga and I think I must define this position. Mental health of psychosocial support does not require that you become domiciled in a hospital bed. That is the concept that we must demystify. All we are saying is that is these are all positive social development attitudes when you are able to visit your doctor or health worker in a clinic and have a dialogue with that individual. You are able to develop the relational ability between a doctor, nurse, and psychologist with the patient who comes to seek social stability, social support. It does even extend to the spiritual support. It is so critical at that moment. What we are really looking for is that county governments, including the health services they run, should do what we call extension work services similar to agricultural extension workers who go to villages and homes to teach people how to grow foods. We should also have health workers who go to homes, villages and health clinic to teach individuals on how to have social stability, mental stability and the right attitude in life."
