    "content": "Patients will also be able to seek highly skilled references from various doctors in different parts of the world. A doctor in Germany, South Africa or anywhere in Kenya, can treat a patient using that data from where he or she is. It will also reduce the paperwork. These days, we use a lot of paper. Even in this House, there are so many papers. It is time this House goes digital to save our trees. We can get all that we want from our computers et cetera . Digitization of health services will also help doctors to get patient’s DNA easily. The penalty for not maintaining a patient’s privacy is 15 years or Kshs1 million. This is applicable. However, the penalty should be higher because some of the people who access this data have a lot of money. So, getting Kshs1 million is not a problem. There is need to review that part. Health is a devolved function. However, little has been said about the counties. So, I do not know where counties will fall and the role they will play in digitization. All hospitals will have to go digital. However, the Bill has not mentioned anything to do with the counties. As the Chairperson of the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, the Bill needs to involve not only the Cabinet Secretaries, but also Governors and health personnel in the counties."
