    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Vote. I would like to say that this is a very important Ministry. If it takes care of its role very well, then this country will have very little problems in health care. In my contribution to this Vote, I want to focus on the provision of data and information on various diseases. If this Ministry has to reach out to the people, information is very important. In this regard, I would like to see this Ministry developing a comprehensive digital health database which is GIS-based, so that information on various diseases can be availed in a map form. We want information to be availed in a very simple way to the people in the local areas and students and pupils in schools. We already have technology that can create all this information very easily. This is one area that this Ministry should focus on in order to provide information to the people. This is an area that I wish to highlight. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other area that I wish to highlight is public health. Most of the areas have public health officers. But because of lack transport and enabling environment, most of these officers cannot reach the people. So, you find that they are not able to reach areas to provide necessary information to the people regarding various diseases. This is an area again, I would like to see the Ministry providing, particularly transport to various public health officers, so that they can address various issues of sanitation."
