Member entirely. We have a shortage of doctors and nurses in this country. As we all know, there was an embargo that was given to us by the so-called development partners. This embargo has now been lifted and we have started recruiting doctors and nurses. Like I said, before the end of this year, we will have recruited about 3,000 nurses. That should go towards bridging the shortfall of 5,000 nurses."}
