    "content": "a) Provide a framework for the delivery of comprehensive quality health services to meet health needs of mothers, newborns and children. (b) Establish a coordinated and structured system for provision of quality maternal, newborn and child healthcare services. Madam Temporary Speaker, we go to Clause 4 and you see the principles for service delivery. What are the major principles of service delivery? I am talking about access and equity. How do our mothers, the maternal the newborn, and the children up to 12 years, do they have access and are these services equitable to these cohorts? The principles include access to services. Are the services timely? When I refer to the laws we had in the Homa Bay District yesterday, you probably think about a mother who did not have timely services. Probably somebody did not ensure the kind of service this woman needed. So, the principles talk about access, equity and timeliness. Another principle is the collaboration between the national and county governments and the relevant stakeholders. Health is a function of the county governments. It is a shared function. This Bill spells out the services that the county government must give to our mothers, our newborns, and children up to 12 years. We are talking about inclusivity in the delivery of health services. We are here spelling out in the Bill the recognition and the sensitivity of the cultures of various communities. This Bill talks about targeted empowerment and capacity-building initiatives for people both at risk and persons with special needs. It is worth noticing"
