    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a difference between being “helpless” and being “transparent”, as hon. Dr. Khalwale knows. I am not helpless; I am being transparent. I am saying that the process of gazetting dispensaries involves local health officials going to those facilities and certifying them as being properly constructed and adequate for functioning as dispensaries. There are certain people who put up a shack in the name of a dispensary and expect the Ministry to supply medicine and take nurses there. Now, if a dispensary does not qualify, both according to the standards of the Ministry of Public Works as well as the Ministry of Health, definitely, KEMSA will not take pharmaceuticals there. So, the process of certifying them, gazetting them and giving that information to KEMSA that, “You should now supply drugs there” may not necessarily coincide with the time when a dispensary is completed to be used by the Ministry of Public Health or the Ministry of Medical Services. So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, all I am saying is that in each situation, I would plead with the Members of Parliament to work very closely with the public health officials to make sure that a dispensary, once constructed, is properly certified so that it can be gazetted by the Director of Medical Services."
