    "content": "another mother seated or sleeping next to her is mourning the loss of her new-born. It is not an easy experience. It is not something that you would like to have an extended experience in. I ask our county governments to ensure that we have separate wings or beds where they can manage the victims of such situations. That is extremely important. The investment in maternal health sector cannot be gainsaid. The future of a nation is determined by examining the maternal and child mortality rates and the concept of maternal mental health. Promotion of maternal mental health facilities will help us secure future generations. It can only be better if and when we push to have such a Motion and prioritize it. The recommendations that Sen Kibwana is seeking are going to help not only the mothers or parents who have gone through child loss but their partners as well. I beseech that besides looking into the mental health of grieving mothers, we should also consider their partners. Aside from the mother, the male partners or fathers who have lost new- born babies are also highly affected by the challenges that the mother goes through. We should also look into ways of supporting such partners, so that we manage the mothers who are victims as well as their partners who are also victims by extension of the situation. I support this Motion and congratulate Sen. Kibwana for this timely Motion that is before the House."
