    "content": "recommendations they gave. This Bill will be among the enablers of rolling out the Universal Health Care (UHC). I thank my Committee Members for the good work they have done to make sure the Facilities Improvement Financing Bill is in place. This Bill will make healthcare uniform for all counties, so that no county is left behind. We are aware that counties through their own motions and initiatives have passed their own Facilities Improvement Finance Bills at the county level. However, more than 30 counties have not passed the Bill. Therefore, this Bill will fill this gap and enable retention of resources in all health facilities across the country. The importance of this Bill in UHC is the intention of having a unified package for certain health services to be availed in all health facilities. It will enhance access to minimum standard of healthcare in any part of this country. As the Senate sits in Turkana County, Members should note that once UHC is rolled out, they will not worry about the healthcare services in this region, since they will be available at the ward level. When hon. Members visit Loima and Turkwel here in Turkana and there is an issue, they could visit any healthcare facility in the area as they are guaranteed of a certain minimum package of healthcare. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to second."
