    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This Bill is good. I am impressed that my records are going to be stored for the next 25 years. When I retire from Nairobi City to my village in Nyamira and I am consulting a doctor in my primary health care, he or she will just touch the computer and my records will come out. What else would you want in this error of technological advancement? That is what we want. I do not know about your counties, but from Nyamira County, there are so many patients who travel all the way to India just for a doctor to look at an MRI. With teleconference, a patient from Nyamira can take an MRI in Nairobi and send it to a doctor in India. The doctor in India will look at the results and discuss with the patient. I urge my colleagues, including my friends from these side, that this is one of those Bills that bi-partisan support is essential. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we spoke about issues of health and Baba Care. This is the time that we need to come together and support this great idea. I am sure it will be transformative. It will transform the way we deal with the people we represent at our counties. I fully support. Sen. Cheruiyot, I hope once this Bill is enacted, my people in Nyamira can go to the hospital and be attended to. If there is consultation, that doctor in Nyamira can call a specialist in Nairobi and send an x-ray for the doctor to look at. Both doctors can then discuss and prescribe medicine. You do not need to wait for results in a hospital. You can go to a hospital for an x-ray and have the results sent to the doctor on the other side. This Bill is progressive and I fully support the Senator for Nandi County on this. The only issue is that once we have passed it, later on after maybe seven months or so, we can revisit to look at a few clauses that may not be right. For now, I fully support. This is a good idea and I hope once it is enacted, we shall implement it and change the way we deal with patients."
