    "content": "here only the other day, during which people talked about it. I never knew of its existence previously. So, we need to alert our people on what is available. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am happy because the Minister for Finance has waived duties on medical equipment. That is a laudable move. That will serve as an incentive to hospitals to buy equipment. It will be very good to get the equipment, even if it is the private companies that bring them duty free. We need to bring medical services closer to the people. I am talking about rural areas where we need more mobile clinics. Many times, we see men and women being carried on wheelbarrows to medical centres. If it is possible, mobile clinics should be stationed in villages once a week. That would be a very good move. That way, we can prevent diseases at the very early stages, for example, papsmear for women. In the villages, they hardly get those things. They do not even know how to feel their breasts if they have cancer. If we bring those facilities next to the people, we can prevent many diseases. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when politicians take medical camps to villages, very many people flock there. That is because they do not have those facilities. I think if we do that, we will save a lot money. We will cure those diseases at their earlier stages. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to say again that this Ministry have done very well. But it has a long way to go because there is a lot to be done. It needs a lot of money. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
