    "content": "Lastly, I want to talk passionately about health. As a public health specialist, I feel pain when the health of a people is in jeopardy, and simple diseases are driving families to poverty. They are preventable situations and some achievable by promoting health through the UHC. This UHC has been discussed in Kenya for a long time. When we went to Malaysia, the same books that we developed here have made the Malaysian healthcare system robust and an example to the whole world. To the presidency, the UHC is different from Primary Health Care (PHC) because the UHC looks at the promotion of health through prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care; while the PHC looks beyond medical. For example, if you have a very well-equipped health facility somewhere, and there is no road to get there or if there is no electricity, and women come to deliver, our women still die on the road and you cannot, as a health practitioner help. So, we have to combine these two and fund it well. I thank the President for this, because he said he will invest in PHC. That will save Kenyans a lot of money."
