    "content": "I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Health regarding healthcare provision to teenage and adolescent mothers in public healthcare facilities. In the statement, the Committee should- (1) Provide the medical protocols provided to teenage mothers when they visit public medical facilities, stating the number of underage individuals who have sought prenatal and postnatal care at public medical facilities in the year 2023. (2) Investigate cases of alleged abuse of teenage and adolescent mothers in medical facilities and labour wards in public hospitals, disclosing whether any arrests have been made. (3) Explain why teenage and adolescent mothers are mistreated in labour wards, leading them to avoid public labour wards for subsequent deliveries, noting that the law provides the right to medical assistance, fair treatment and the right to health to all. (4) Outline the measures the Ministry of Health is taking to ensure that everyone seeking medical attention is treated equally, respecting their fundamental right to healthcare without discrimination based on age, religion, or ethnic background."
