    "content": "ordinary citizens? If this Bill is going to address the question of emergency medical treatment, especially in light of this new regime of health insurance that is being proposed would be extended to persons not withstanding their confinement, then it is a good thing. One of the things I have noticed is what we have just debated and concluded, that is, the Digital Health Bill. We are now debating the Social Insurance Bill, but both seem not to remember that in primary health, there is a category of people or medical practitioners called the traditional health practitioners. I hope that the Chair is listening to me. Those are the first point of call to many Kenyans at the local level. They are the first point of call before they can get access to dispensaries, Level 1, Level II or to whatever level of treatment. So, when you talk about a new dispensation, how do you digitise without bringing into bracket traditional health practitioners? If we are going to comprehensively deal with the question of universal comprehensive health, we cannot do it outside the context of traditional health. I am saying this also against the context of the question of research because we have extended the issues of research as part of what we want to do in terms of Universal Health Care."
