I also want to add that I think, as a Senate in the coming months, we should pay specific attention to the health sector, which is going through tremendous problems. Mr. Chairman, Sir, while I was the Minister for Medical Services, I proposed that we should transform 22 heavy volume hospitals into referral facilities to ensure that they are well funded to take care of major health problems in the nation."}
