    "content": "expand and improve availability and accessibility of maternal, newborn and child healthcare services. If you reflect on the background information, specifically on the percentages that I gave from the many counties, then it means that the percentage has reflected. For example, in Samburu County, 50 per cent of ages 17 to 19 being pregnant. It means that all these people must access certain services. These services must be deliberately made available and accessible to all women, wherever they are, and whatever time they need them every day. The objects will also promote linkages among existing programmes to expand and improve the availability and access to comprehensive community maternal, newborn and child healthcare services. It will promote the provision of proper care and assistance to mothers, newborn children and children with special needs. I will also talk about special needs. We have children with special needs. Which kind of services are they giving? Are we just giving obvious services that we give to all children? When we talk about pregnant women, there is a category of women with special needs. This includes women who have mental and psychological problems and women who are marginalised. Are they able to access maternal services from our health institutions and by our professional medics? The objects also seek to promote innovative, comprehensive and integrated approaches to the delivery of maternal, newborn and child healthcare services. The services that are captured in this Bill are not only limited to curative. We are also talking about promotive, curative and preventative. All that must be provided for in this Bill by health institutions and professionals. The Bill has principles for service delivery. What are the principles of delivering the services? One is universality of access and equity in delivery of healthcare services and the recognition that in offering these services, there are people with special needs. This Bill is going to spell out how that category is captured. On the principle for service delivery, this Bill talks about availability and access to services. It not only talks about access, but also timely and reliable information necessary to make an informed decision regarding one’s health and treatment."
