    "content": "The SHA will facilitate comprehensive access to reproductive healthcare for women by providing explicitly listed benefits that are accessible at levels 2 and 3 health facilities at no cost to the member through the Primary Healthcare Fund, which is fully financed by the Government. A list of the benefits packages and maternity services to be accessed through the Primary Healthcare Fund and the SHA has been annexed to this presentation and we shall leave it behind. Some of the benefits include access to family planning, antenatal care, pre- and post- delivery visits, normal deliveries and caesarean sections, and complications related to deliveries. Just before and after the launch of the benefits packages, the Authority will invest in massive communications campaigns to inform mothers and all Kenyans of their entitlement to those benefits. I am aware that some Members think that the Linda Mama Scheme has been scrapped and, therefore, there are no benefits for women. I wish to confirm that I am a mother of two and I aspire to be a mother of five. Therefore, the existence of the Linda Mama Initiative will ensure that all benefits under the Linda Mama Scheme are ring-fenced not just for myself as an aspiring mother, but for all the women of this country. Hon. Speaker and Hon. Members, I submit."
