    "content": "there are those people who never access health facilities because of poor infrastructure. Such people give birth at home and, therefore, it would be better if we can have a policy to train the traditional birth attendants. This way, we shall reduce the number of people who are affected. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the health facilities in most areas are far away from the public. The Committee should, therefore, have recommended that four-wheel-drive ambulances should be allocated to such facilities. This will be of help especially in areas where the roads are so bad that saloon cars cannot be driven on. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are so many killer diseases and one of them has been mentioned by Sen. Kajwang. The other one is cancer. The communities need to be sensitized about cancer. We do not need to keep quiet about the fact that cancer is a killer disease. It is, therefore, our obligation, as Senators and other stakeholders, to sensitize our people about this disease. I am saying this because if it is discovered at an early stage, it can be treated. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as much as I commend the Committee for the county visits, there are key things that they did not capture. I do not think that you will be able to visit all counties. But, probably, you should visit up to ten counties and come up with universal recommendations that will represent all of us. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are recommendations in the report that need to be harmonized with the plans of the county governments. I know that there are county strategic plans regarding various hospitals. How will the Committee harmonize its recommendations with the plans that are in place right now in the counties? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
