    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for protecting me. If this Bill goes through, so many issues will be solved. One will be disease surveillance. With the health databank, we will know the population of Kenya with chronic diseases such as cancer. It will also help in diseases research and their medications. During pregnancy, on the first clinic visit, women normally undergo some checkups. If this Bill goes through, there will be no need of doing it over and over. The data will be recorded and the doctor concerned will just prescribe the medicine straightaway. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it will also help in our pharmaceuticals. We will know the amount of drugs we have imported or manufactured and their distribution in the counties. We will also know the expiry dates of the batch we have through this Bill. Consultation costs will reduce. It will be easier for people to do consultations wherever they are and get prescriptions through telemedicine. You will not be required to go physically to the hospital. This Bill will provide data governance and the protection of personal health information. In other countries such as Turkey, all their citizens are given a card allowing them to go to any hospital and any doctor paperless. There is no misdiagnosis by any doctor. They are given drugs straightforward. If we go for this Bill, that system of doctors misdiagnosing patients and prescribing the wrong drugs will reduce. Thank you."
