    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is something that was mentioned which is very important. That is the issue of trauma accidents. Kenya is known today, by facts and figures, as being one of the most accident-prone countries. We have many more accident per capita than many nations in Africa. Indeed, when we saw the fire disasters a couple of years ago, we promised ourselves that we will start trauma and accident centre in the country. Fortunately, our Ministry has responded by establishing a proposal for national ambulatory and emergency services. This too is ready and is completely well studied. We have been discussing with the Red Cross because Red Cross is a very good ambulatory service and it will have a better response to the use of our ambulances than we have today. It will make it possible for both the private and public sector to accept one GPA system which will then mean that you do not have a stationary ambulance in front of your health centre. All those ambulances will be pooled together in the national ambulatory and emergency services and when you need an ambulance, you only need to dial a number and you will have access to an ambulance there. Then there will be a system of reimbursing the ambulance providers so that they will be able to do business with the Government. This is what is called smart partnership. I think we must go towards this partnership, first, we use our resources that we have both in private-public sector effectively and pay less for services."
