    "content": " Thank you once again, Hon. Deputy Speaker. We are coming up with great ideas today that are not receiving much attention. The concept of this technopolis, which is actually an industrial park, is for innovation. The bigger idea behind it is the use of knowledge in production. In many countries, such technopolises are linked to universities which create industrial parks where university dons conduct research, and the new ideas that are generated are immediately applied and commercialised. You find that as ideas emerge, they are utilised for production and improvement of mankind. In healthcare, we have what is called the “know-do gap” where there is knowledge, but it is not being used. Historically, the greatest example of this phenomenon where knowledge was not used was in the cure of scurvy, which is caused by Vitamin C deficiency. For 100 years, people knew that scurvy could be treated and prevented by the intake of Vitamin C and yet, sailors were dying. That knowledge was not being utilised until somebody figured out that all they had to do was to carry some citrus fruits on long voyages, and that saved sailors."
