    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to speak on this Bill, which brings together and tries to create a database for health. We also have this in the education sector because with the National Education Management Information System (NEMIS) working, we can know every information and movement of a student from one school to another. The world is getting digital, and we are taking this to the health sector. This is a very important Bill. It is going to bring out several things which are good for society. First, it will bring to the fore affordability in the health sector so that there is the bit of sharing information from one hospital to another or doctor to another. Above all, in this level of affordability, to remove the double, triple and multiple tests done on the patients from one hospital to another. A patient attending a hospital at a lower level will undergo the same tests at the next level and go continuously on the same tests even at a higher level. And still, at every level, they pay. This is a big advantage of this Bill because a test at a particular level can now be shared throughout the entire health system. There is an advantage of a test at a higher level being shared across and down to the community health volunteers or promoters so that even though they are working at the lowest levels, handling hundreds of people, as we were told, they can enjoy tests that the health practitioner otherwise approved at the highest level. This is very important. It is also given that the sharing of this profession can be done across the counties to the national level. This will basically reduce the cost of health, which is a real burden. In the rural areas where we live, there is something called CT scan, which is now not only required, but also proving to be a health menace. Every patient will be asked to go through The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
