    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to join my colleagues to thank Sen. Catherine Mukite for bringing this Motion that looks at some issues that we have heard related to the health sector. We know the three pillars of Vision 2030. These are the economic, social and the political pillars. Under the social pillar, the health and education sectors are anchored there. You will recall in 1960s, when we got our Independence, the rallying call for the leaders at that time was that we needed to eliminate three enemies; namely, poverty, diseases and ignorance. During campaigns, anybody who stood for elections said that they would address those three issues. Fifty years later, these have not been minimized. We began very well by establishing the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) just like other nations that were at par with us like Singapore, Malaysia and other countries. However, today, we find ourselves with a lot of problems to the extent that the issues that have been pointed out in this Motion are still taking place. People are still being misdiagnosed and wrong decisions are being taken with regard to treatment. This The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
